  • Patent number: 11961652
    Abstract: In a coil component, a shield layer is provided after the unevenness of the surface of an element body is smoothened by the surface being covered with an insulating layer. A Cu layer of the shield layer is provided on a smooth surface, and thus a thickness variation can be suppressed and the Cu layer can be formed with a substantially uniform thickness. In the coil component, a point where the shield layer is thin or a point lacking the shield layer is unlikely to be generated and a functional degradation of the shield layer is effectively suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20230406404
    Abstract: A field-weakening controller determines a d-axis current command correction value in field-weakening control according to a modulation factor that correlates with the ratio of the voltage amplitude applied to the inverter to the power supply voltage. A d-axis current final value calculator outputs a d-axis current command final value calculated using a d-axis current command value and a d-axis current command correction value. A Current controller performs feedback control of the d-axis current command final value and the q-axis current command value. A d-axis current adjuster adjusts the d-axis current command final value based on the q-axis current command value so as to suppress an influence of the frequency component of the q-axis current command value in a specific frequency band for which at least a lower limit frequency is determined.
