  • Publication number: 20240110426
    Abstract: A vehicle door control device controlling a motor and a door lock device of a door. During a closing operation of the door based on a closing operation command signal, the motor is driven to cause the door to perform the closing operation until shift of a latch mechanism from the unlatching state to the half-latching state is detected. The latch mechanism is shifted from the half-latching state to the full-latching state by starting driving of the door lock device simultaneously with or before or after completion of the closing operation of the door. When the shift of the latch mechanism from the half-latching state to the full-latching state is detected, position correction control of correcting a position of the door by driving the motor such that a force in an opening direction acts on the door is executed.

    Abstract: A backup power supply control system includes: a first semiconductor switch that switches a main power supply line to an electrically conductive state or an electrically non-conductive state; and an auxiliary power supply switch that switches an auxiliary power supply line to the electrically conductive state or the electrically non-conductive state. A first driving unit controls, in a non-failure state, a second semiconductor switch, connected between a gate and source of a first semiconductor switch, OFF and thereby controls the first semiconductor switch ON. The first driving unit ensures, in the failure state, at least a gate-plateau voltage of the first semiconductor switch as a drive voltage for the second semiconductor switch. When a failure detection unit detects the failure state, the first driving unit controls the first semiconductor switch OFF by controlling the second semiconductor switch ON and a second driving unit controls the auxiliary power supply switch ON.
