  • Patent number: 10615956
    Abstract: A clock and data recovery device includes an extraction circuit and a phase detection circuit. The extraction circuit extracts transition information including data information corresponding to a value of data and edge information corresponding to transition of the value of the data, from a multivalued input data signal subjected to pulse amplitude modulation in synchronization with a clock from an oscillator. The phase detection circuit uses transition information selected based on a predetermined condition, when executing a phase error determination of the clock with respect to the input data signal based on the transition information extracted by the extraction circuit.

  • Patent number: 10309528
    Abstract: The present invention is configured such that: in a stopped state of an electric oil pump (M/O/P), control of the electric oil pump (M/O/P) is started such that, when a driver has the intention of demanding drive force, a discharge pressure takes on a target hydraulic pressure (PTh) determined in accordance with the demanded drive force from the driver; and a pressure regulation target value of a line pressure regulation valve (101) is set to a value that is higher than or equal to the target hydraulic pressure (PTh). Thus, it is possible to provide a vehicular hydraulic control device capable of suppressing hunting in line pressure (PL) when the line pressure (PL) is regulated so as to take on the target hydraulic pressure (PTh).

  • Patent number: 10309526
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device includes: a mechanical oil pump (O/P) that is driven by a motor/generator (M/G) and that generates a first hydraulic pressure (P1); an electric oil pump (M/O/P) that is driven by a sub-motor (S/M) and that generates a second hydraulic pressure (P2); and a controller (10). When a demanded drive force from a driver is generated while in a low-vehicle-speed region which is lower than a first vehicle speed (V1) at which the output of the mechanical oil pump (O/P) becomes unstable, the controller (10) controls the electric oil pump (M/O/P) such that the second hydraulic pressure (P2) becomes larger than a compensative hydraulic pressure (P?) found by subtracting the first hydraulic pressure (P1) from a necessary hydraulic pressure (Pne) determined in accordance with the demanded drive force.

  • Publication number: 20180100578
    Abstract: An oil pressure control device for a vehicle is configured such that, when switching from an oil pressure supply by means of a mechanical oil pump driven by a motor/generator to an oil pressure supply by means of an electric oil pump driven by a sub-motor, a supply ratio of oil supplied from the mechanical oil pump and a supply ratio of oil supplied from the electric oil pump, are adjusted based on an oil pressure difference between a first oil pressure and a second oil pressure, via first and second flapper valves. When the first oil pressure becomes less than or equal to a pump drive threshold, an increase in the second oil pressure is initiated, and the first oil pressure and the second oil pressure are made to match at a predetermined equilibrium oil pressure higher than a required line pressure.
