  • Inverter device and method of controlling the same
    Patent number: 10523136
    Abstract: Provided are an inverter device, which is capable of preventing a malfunction of the inverter device while reducing the number of interface wirings, and a method of controlling the inverter device. A communication terminal of a communication circuit having a function of communicating to/from a vehicle, an input terminal for a start signal for starting a control circuit, and a signal for holding the control circuit active even when the start signal is changed after the start of the control circuit are used. A drive prohibition signal issued from the vehicle is received through the same terminal as that for the start signal to unify terminals for the start signal and the drive prohibition signal, to thereby reduce the number of interface wirings.
