6. Inverter Board specifications
This chapter describes the specification of the INV-BRD.

6.1 Outline
The INV- BRD is the inverter board which enables to operate the motor by connecting it with the CPU card
manufactured by Renesas Electronics.

6.2 Functions
6.2.1 Inverter Control Circuit Block
The INV-BRD is equipped with the inverter control circuit block which controls the motor with six Power MOS-
FETs. The POWER MOS-FETs control the motor with six-phase timer output from the microcontroller.
The inverter control circuit block outputs DC bus voltage, U, V and W phase voltage and shunt current to the
connectors (CNA, CNB). By entering these output values in A/D of the microcomputer of the CPU card, analog values
of the voltage and the shunt current of each phase can be measured. Refer to 6.2.2 and 6.2.4 for the current detection
and the voltage detection, respectively. Also function to detect overcurrent from the input current is available. Refer to
6.2.3 for details.
An illustration of the inverter control circuit block is shown in Figure 6-1. In the actual circuit, some inputs on the
A/D pins are via voltage dividers and offsets and so on. Refer to the circuit diagram for details.

6.2.2 Current Detection Circuit
The INV-BRD is equipped with the current detection circuit to measure the current at the U, V and W phase. The
current detection circuit uses shunt resistance at each phase. Voltage drop caused by the current flowing through the
shunt resistor is amplified by the current detection amplifier to output. The relation between Iin which is the current
flowing through the shunt resistor and Vout which is the voltage output from the current detection circuit is described
by the below equation(1).

6.2.3 Overcurrent Detection Circuit
Detect the overcurrent from the input current, using the overcurrent detection circuit illustrated in Figure 6-3. If the
current value is within the range of threshold, HISIDE_OC is HIGH, but if an overcurrent is detected, HISIDE_OC
goes LOW. Therefore, by monitoring the OC pin and forcing Motor control PWM signal into the inactive state (High
side signals UP, VP, WP are HIGH, Low side signals UN, VN, WN are LOW) when OC is low, you can protect the
board and motor.
The overcurrent detection circuit does not directly protect the board and motor. Perform appropriate processing with
equipment such as microcontroller to protect them.

 General Precautions in the Handling of Microprocessing Unit and Microcontroller
Unit Products
The following usage notes are applicable to all Microprocessing unit and Microcontroller unit products from Renesas. For detailed usage notes on the products covered
by this document, refer to the relevant sections of the document as well as any technical updates that have been issued for the products.

1. Precaution against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

A strong electrical field, when exposed to a CMOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken
to stop the generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it when it occurs. Environmental control must be adequate. When it is dry, a
humidifier should be used. This is recommended to avoid using insulators that can easily build up static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and
transported in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools including work benches and floors must be
grounded. The operator must also be grounded using a wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions must be taken for
printed circuit boards with mounted semiconductor devices.
2. Processing at power-on
The state of the product is undefined at the time when power is supplied. The states of internal circuits in the LSI are indeterminate and the states of register settings
and pins are undefined at the time when power is supplied. In a finished product where the reset signal is applied to the external reset pin, the states of pins are not
guaranteed from the time when power is supplied until the reset process is completed. In a similar way, the states of pins in a product that is reset by an on-chip
power-on reset function are not guaranteed from the time when power is supplied until the power reaches the level at which resetting is specified.
3. Input of signal during power-off state
Do not input signals or an I/O pull-up power supply while the device is powered off. The current injection that results from input of such a signal or I/O pull-up
power supply may cause malfunction and the abnormal current that passes in the device at this time may cause degradation of internal elements. Follow the guideline
for input signal during power-off state as described in your product documentation.
4. Handling of unused pins
Handle unused pins in accordance with the directions given under handling of unused pins in the manual. The input pins of CMOS products are generally in the high-
impedance state. In operation with an unused pin in the open-circuit state, extra electromagnetic noise is induced in the vicinity of the LSI, an associated shoot-
through current flows internally, and malfunctions occur due to the false recognition of the pin state as an input signal become possible.
5. Clock signals
After applying a reset, only release the reset line after the operating clock signal becomes stable. When switching the clock signal during program execution, wait
until the target clock signal is stabilized. When the clock signal is generated with an external resonator or from an external oscillator during a reset, ensure that the
reset line is only released after full stabilization of the clock signal. Additionally, when switching to a clock signal produced with an external resonator or by an
external oscillator while program execution is in progress, wait until the target clock signal is stable.
6. Voltage application waveform at input pin
Waveform distortion due to input noise or a reflected wave may cause malfunction. If the input of the CMOS device stays in the area between V IL (Max.) and VIH
(Min.) due to noise, for example, the device may malfunction. Take care to prevent chattering noise from entering the device when the input level is fixed, and also in
the transition period when the input level passes through the area between V IL (Max.) and VIH (Min.).
7. Prohibition of access to reserved addresses
Access to reserved addresses is prohibited. The reserved addresses are provided for possible future expansion of functions. Do not access these addresses as the
correct operation of the LSI is not guaranteed.
8. Differences between products
Before changing from one product to another, for example to a product with a different part number, confirm that the change will not lead to problems. The
characteristics of a microprocessing unit or microcontroller unit products in the same group but having a different part number might differ in terms of internal
memory capacity, layout pattern, and other factors, which can affect the ranges of electrical characteristics, such as characteristic values, operating margins, immunity
to noise, and amount of radiated noise. When changing to a product with a different part number, implement a system-evaluation test for the given product.
