    摘要: A vehicle includes a multi-core processor having first, second, and cores and having first and second analog-to-digital converters (ADC) associated with the first and second cores, respectively. The first and second ADC are configured to convert analog phase currents to first and second digital phase current values, respectively. The multi-core processor is configured to generate first and second rotor-angle data from digital signals representing a position of the electric machine. The processor is programmed to, via the first core, estimate a first output torque of the electric machine based on the first rotor-angle data and the first digital phase current values, via the second core, estimate a second output torque based on the second rotor-angle data and the second digital phase current values, and, via the third core, command de-activation of the electric machine in response to a difference between the first and second output torques exceeding a threshold.

    摘要: The voltage variation detection circuit includes: a threshold voltage generation circuit arranged to generate a threshold voltage; a comparator arranged to compare a variation detection-target voltage and the threshold voltage to each other; and a controller arranged to control the threshold voltage generation circuit based on output of the comparator. Repeated are operations of: decreasing the threshold voltage stepwise; when the variation detection-target voltage has come to the threshold voltage or more, first increasing the threshold voltage by specified steps and then again decreasing the threshold voltage stepwise; and when the variation detection-target voltage has come to the threshold voltage or more, increasing the threshold voltage by specified steps. The controller detects a variation of the variation detection-target voltage based on control results at time points when the variation detection-target voltage comes to the threshold voltage or more.

    摘要: A comparator includes a first input stage coupled to a first signal input and a first reference input, wherein the first input stage is coupled between a first node and a second node. A second input stage is coupled to a second signal input and a second reference input, wherein the second input stage is coupled between a third node and the second node. An output stage generates at least one output signal in response to the first and second input signals. First switching circuitry is coupled between the first node and the output stage. The first switching circuitry is for coupling the first node to a fourth node in response to a reset signal. Second switching circuitry is coupled between the third node and the output stage. The second switching circuitry is for coupling the third node to a fifth node in response to the reset signal.
