  • Patent number: 9531286
    Abstract: A method for control of an electric vehicle converter is provided. The converter is adapted to drop voltage and a counting unit is adapted to count a signal generated by the converter. The method includes inputting a signal that is generated by the converter to the counting unit during operation of the converter and counting the signal. Additionally, whether a counting result of the counting unit corresponds to a predetermined interval is determined and the converter is determined to be out-of-order when the counting result does not correspond to the predetermined interval.

  • Patent number: 9297672
    Abstract: An interface circuit for detecting a fault in a resolver is provided. More specifically, the interface circuit includes the resolver connected to an intermediate point of a stator coil of a first output terminal for a sine wave signal and an intermediate point of the stator coil of a second output terminal for a cosine wave signal to output the sine and cosine wave signals as a common mode signal. Also includes is resolver fault detection interface unit that adjusts a gain and an offset of the sine wave signal and the cosine wave signal in order to adjust the sine wave signal and the cosine wave signal received as a common mode signal to a frequency that can be suitably applied to an analog/digital terminal of a microcomputer, and to allow high-frequency components of the sine wave signal and the cosine wave signal to pass therethrough.

  • Publication number: 20150070027
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for detecting disconnection from three-phase cable are provided. The method includes switching a plurality of switching elements included within switching units each corresponding to the respective phases of three-phase circuits configuring an output stage based on a predetermined criteria. In addition, the method includes applying a current generated in an input stage to the switching elements determined to be switched on and off based on the switching and detecting a current flow from the plurality of switching elements based on the applied current. Further, which of the three-phase circuits at the output stage is an open phase is determined based on the detection result.
