  • Patent number: 11205968
    Abstract: A matrix converter control device includes a plurality of delay circuits which correspond to logic change timings of a plurality of input pulse width modulation (PWM) signals for controlling ON and OFF states of a plurality of switching elements included in a matrix converter. Specifically, the plurality of delay circuits are a first delay circuit, a second delay circuit, a third delay circuit, a fourth delay circuit, and a fifth delay circuit. Each of the plurality of delay circuits delays an input PWM signal by an amount of delay set for the delay circuit at a logic change timing corresponding to the delay circuit.

  • Patent number: 10530252
    Abstract: A pulse-frequency control circuit includes: a selection circuit that receives, and selects from among, a plurality of reference clocks whose phases differ from one another and which have a same reference period; a setting register that stores information for identifying a setting period that is in increments of a first duration shorter than the reference period; and a control circuit that causes, based on the information stored in the setting register, the selection circuit to sequentially and repeatedly select, as a determined rising edge, a rising edge occurring at intervals of the setting period from among rising edges of the plurality of reference clocks, in which the selection circuit sequentially and repeatedly generates an output pulse whose rising edge coincides with the determined rising edge selected, to provide an output pulse sequence of the output pulses.

  • Publication number: 20050144515
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuits can send and receive signals to and form a configuration memory. The semiconductor integrated circuits is provided therein wiht an instruction memory, an instruction storage portion that stores reserved instructions as F instructions, and stores the substantially equivalent processing contents to the F instructions as substitute instructions for processing by the CPU, a pre-fetch portion, a history storage portion, a diagnosing portion for diagnosing the types of instructions, a reprogramming control portion for reprogramming the instructions, a CPU, an FPGA, a configuration data memory, a built-in memory, and a configuration data tag. When the configuration data of the F instruction does not exist in the FPGA, the substantially equivalent processing by FPGA is executed by the CPU by making use of the substitute instructions.
