Patent number: 10782716Abstract: The present disclosure intends to simplify the wiring structure of a switching circuit included in a power conversion apparatus. A feedback signal acquisitor acquires a power supply feedback signal corresponding to electric power transmitted from a power supply switching unit to a load switching unit, via coupling conductive elements, from the power supply switching unit. Alternatively, the feedback signal acquisitor acquires a load feedback signal corresponding to the electric power, via coupling conductive elements, from the load switching unit. A command signal generator generates a power supply switching command signal and a load switching command signal. A command signal transmitter transmits the power supply switching command signal to the power supply switching unit via the coupling conductive elements, and transmits the load switching command signal to the load switching unit via the coupling conductive elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHOInventors: Keisuke Ishikawa, Shuntaro Inoue, Masanori Ishigaki
