  • Patent number: 11845349
    Abstract: An on-board charger and a control method thereof are provided. The on-board charger includes a control pilot (CP) receiving module that detects a CP signal and a proximity detection (PD) receiving module that detects a PD signal. A processor repeatedly executes a low power run mode that supplies a voltage to the CP receiving module and the PD receiving module in a standby state for reservation charging and a completion state of reservation charging, and a low power stop mode that blocks a voltage supplied to the CP receiving module and the PD receiving module at predetermined periods.

  • Patent number: 10566808
    Abstract: A system for diagnosing a battery connection status includes: a DC-DC converter that converts and outputs a level of an input voltage; a battery connected to an output terminal of the DC-DC converter; and a controller that generates a control value for compensating for an error between a voltage command or a current command of the battery and a detection voltage or a detection current of the battery, controls the output of the DC-DC converter by applying the control value, and diagnoses a connection status between the DC-DC converter and the battery based on a change in error between the detection voltage or the detection current of the battery and the voltage command or the current command of the battery.

  • Patent number: 10399453
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling a vehicular direct current converter are provided. In particular, zero-current control is performed during control for maintaining an SOC of an auxiliary battery. Accordingly, energy loss due to charging and discharging of the auxiliary battery is minimized and the fuel efficiency of a vehicle is improved.

  • Patent number: 10220721
    Abstract: A method for controlling a relay of an auxiliary battery by a controller includes deciding whether or not a low direct current (DC) to DC converter (LDC) supplies power required in an electronic load in a state of charge (SOC) maintaining mode of the auxiliary battery. As a result of the decision, a turn-on state of the relay in which power of the auxiliary battery is supplied to the electronic load is maintained when the LDC does not supply the power required in the electronic load. As a result of the decision, the relay is turned off so that power of the auxiliary battery is not supplied to the electronic load when the LDC supplies the power required in the electronic load.

  • Patent number: 10128767
    Abstract: ADC-DC converter system is provided. The DC-DC converter system includes a transformer that is disposed between an input terminal and an output terminal, and a primary side switching circuit unit that converts voltage of the input terminal to AC voltage and provide the converted AC voltage to a primary side coil of the transformer. A secondary side switching circuit unit includes a plurality of switches that convert voltage induced in a secondary side coil of the transformer to DC voltage and provide the converted DC voltage to the output terminal. A controller is configured to adjust a short-circuit/open state of the plurality of switches based on voltages at both ends of each of the plurality of switches.
