  • Patent number: 11146203
    Abstract: A motor control apparatus drives an inverter which supplies and receives electric power with respect to a motor by pulse width modulation. The motor control apparatus sets a frequency of a carrier such that a frequency of a sideband wave component of the carrier which is used for the pulse width modulation and a frequency of a predetermined rotation order of the motor become different from each other.

  • Patent number: 9213055
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of cells in a main region, a plurality of cells in a sensing region, a transistor, and a gate shut-off time for the sensing region. The transistor is configured to drive each of the plurality of cells in the main region and each of the plurality of cells in the sensing region. The gate shut-off time for the sensing region is set according to D=(Cgs/Cgm)*(Rgs/Rgm) to be earlier than a gate shut-off time for the main region. D indicates a CR delay ratio, Rgm indicates a gate resistance value for the main region and Rgs indicates a gate resistance value for the sensing region in the transistor, and Cgm indicates a parasitic capacitance for the main region and Cgs indicates a parasitic capacitance for the sensing region in the transistor.
