  • Publication number: 20240310180
    Abstract: A vehicle substitute simulation device, including a position information acquisition unit for acquiring movement information from an information terminal of a user, an electric vehicle information storage unit for storing electric vehicle performance information relating to a travel performance of an electric vehicle, a ride information acquisition unit for acquiring, from the movement information acquired in a predetermined period, ride information that includes at least movement distance information and waypoint information on an internal combustion engine vehicle driven by the user and including an internal combustion engine, a SoC calculation unit for calculating, from the electric vehicle performance information and the ride information, a remaining amount of electric power of the electric vehicle as SoC information for each waypoint for a case in which the user switches to the electric vehicle, and an output unit for outputting the SoC information to the information terminal of the user.

  • Patent number: 9667144
    Abstract: A DC-DC converter includes a first switching element and a second switching element; a pulse signal generating circuit which generates a pulse signal used to control on/off periods of the switching elements; a limiting circuit which generates a minimum pulse width signal; a selector configured to select one of the pulse signal and the minimum pulse width signal, and a driver circuit switches the first and second switching element and a reverse current detecting circuit detects a reverse current. The driver circuit controls the first or second switching element, when the reverse current is detected. The selector selects the pulse signal when the reverse current is not detected, and selects the minimum pulse width signal when the reverse current is detected.

  • Publication number: 20160065074
    Abstract: A DC-DC converter according to the present invention includes a power supply control circuit—that generates pulse signals, an output transistor that is controlled to be turned on and off based on the pulse signal, a rectification transistor—that is controlled to be turned on and off based on a control signal, a coil provided between a node between the output transistor and the rectification transistor, and an external output terminal, a comparator that compares a voltage of the node—with a reference voltage, a first control circuit that generates a control signal based on a comparison result of the comparator, and a second control circuit that generates the control signal based on a backward-current detection timing and a reference timing.
