Patent number: 9087816Abstract: To achieve a reduction in cost of a semiconductor device, in a common board (a wiring board), a plurality of bonding leads each extend toward the center of the board, and a solder resist film as a die bonding region supporting a minimum chip is coated with a die bonding material. With this, even when a first semiconductor chip as a large chip is mounted, wire bonding can be performed without causing the die bonding material to cover the bonding leads. Thus, development cost can be reduced to reduce the cost of the semiconductor device (LGA).Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2014Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Soshi Kuroda, Kenya Hironaga, Hironori Matsushima, Masatoshi Yasunaga, Akira Yamazaki

Publication number: 20140125261Abstract: A controller of an AC motor includes a d-axis voltage command section to generate a d-axis voltage command on a d axis of a d-q coordinate system. A d-axis non-interactive control section removes, from the d-axis voltage command, an interference component resulting from a current on a q axis of the system. A first current deviation arithmetic section obtains a deviation between a current command on the q axis and the current on the q axis flowing through the AC motor. A q-axis integral control section outputs an integral value of the deviation. A q-axis voltage command section generates a q-axis voltage command based on the deviation. A constant output control section outputs a correction voltage command based on the integral value. A d-axis voltage command correction section subtracts the correction voltage command from the d-axis voltage command after non-interactive control to correct the d-axis voltage command.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2013Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA YASKAWA DENKIInventors: Akira YAMAZAKI, Hideaki IURA
