Abstract

An electronic control device of the invention having a multiple of power supply system lines, with an object of providing a device such that no circulation path is formed in a ground line, includes a power supply in which a multiple of power supply system lines are provided, a multiple of drive units to which the power is independently supplied from the power supply system lines, and at least one controller that outputs control signals to the multiple of drive units, and is configured so that negative side lines of the power supply system lines are connected by one ground line in the controller.

Claims (22)

1. An electronic control device, comprising:

a power supply in which a multiple of power supply system lines are provided;

a multiple of drive units to which the power is independently supplied from the power supply system lines; and

at least one controller that outputs control signals to the multiple of drive units, wherein

the electronic control device is configured so that negative side lines of the power supply system lines are connected by one ground line in the controller.

2. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein the negative side lines of the power supply system lines of the controller are connected directly by a common ground line without passing through the drive units, and are connected to the controller by one line from the common ground line.

3. The electronic control device according to claim 2 , wherein the ground line of the power supply system lines of the controller is configured of a multiple of ground lines.

4. The electronic control device according to claim 3 , wherein a disposition is such that a sum of impedances of ground lines connecting both an inside of the controller and a ground line common to the controller is greater than impedance between neighboring points on the common ground line.

5. The electronic control device according to claim 4 , wherein the common ground line, a ground line connected to the drive units, or both thereof, are configured of a copper bus bar, a printed substrate, or a ceramic substrate.

6. The electronic control device according to claim 2 , wherein the common ground line, a ground line connected to the drive units, or both thereof, are configured of a copper bus bar, a printed substrate, or a ceramic substrate.

7. The electronic control device according to claim 2 , having filter units to which the power supply system lines are connected, wherein a common ground line that directly connects ground lines of the two filter units is provided directly after passing through the filter units.

8. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein the negative side lines of the power supply system lines are connected to the controller by one ground line extended from a negative side terminal of a power supply connector.

9. The electronic control device according to claim 8 , wherein the ground line of the power supply system lines of the controller is configured of a multiple of ground lines.

10. The electronic control device according to claim 9 , wherein a disposition is such that a sum of impedances of ground lines connecting both an inside of the controller and a ground line common to the controller is greater than impedance between neighboring points on the common ground line.

11. The electronic control device according to claim 10 , wherein the common ground line, a ground line connected to the drive units, or both thereof, are configured of a copper bus bar, a printed substrate, or a ceramic substrate.

12. The electronic control device according to claim 8 , having filter units to which the power supply system lines are connected, wherein a common ground line that directly connects ground lines of the two filter units is provided directly after passing through the filter units.

13. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , wherein the negative side lines of the power supply system lines of the controller are connected by one ground line extended from a ground line connected to one of the drive units.

14. The electronic control device according to claim 13 , wherein the ground line of the power supply system lines of the controller is configured of a multiple of ground lines.

15. The electronic control device according to claim 14 , wherein a disposition is such that a sum of impedances of ground lines connecting both an inside of the controller and a ground line common to the controller is greater than impedance between neighboring points on the common ground line.

16. The electronic control device according to claim 15 , wherein the common ground line, a ground line connected to the drive units, or both thereof, are configured of a copper bus bar, a printed substrate, or a ceramic substrate.

17. The electronic control device according to claim 13 , having filter units to which the power supply system lines are connected, wherein a common ground line that directly connects ground lines of the two filter units is provided directly after passing through the filter units.

18. The electronic control device according to claim 1 , having filter units to which the power supply system lines are connected, wherein a common ground line that directly connects ground lines of the two filter units is provided directly after passing through the filter units.
