An electric power steering device includes: an electric motor including multi-phase coils, which is configured to cause a steering mechanism of a vehicle to rotate; and a control unit including a plurality of inverter circuits configured to drive the electric motor, wherein the inverter circuits include capacitors for smoothing, which are small in number than phase number of the electric motor, and the capacitors are arranged between bridge circuits of respective phases of the inverter circuits.

Electric power steering device

Provided is an electronic control device, including: a plurality of grounding terminals provided to a plurality of grounds in the device individually on a one-to-one basis; a grounding common portion for connecting a plurality of grounding points provided to the plurality of grounds individually on a one-to-one basis; a current detection unit configured to detect each of currents flowing between the plurality of grounding points and the plurality of grounding terminals provided for the plurality of grounding points individually on a one-to-one basis or a current flowing through the grounding common portion; and a controller configured to detect a ground open condition for each of the plurality of grounds by comparing a detection result obtained by the current detection unit with a determination value for determining the ground open condition.

An electronic control device having multiple system circuits is such that power supply interrupting means is provided independently in all the system circuits, an abnormal system circuit is interrupted using the interrupting means in accordance with an abnormality being detected, and control is continued using a normal system circuit, whereby redundancy is improved. A multiple of system circuits formed of a drive unit system circuit and a controller system circuit are divided from a branch point of a power line, and furthermore, a relay function of being capable of controlling so as to interrupt a power supply to each system circuit is disposed in each system circuit, whereby each system circuit can independently be shut off or continue to be operated.

Electronic control device having multiple system circuits

A board includes a separating zone in an area closer to the edge than to the center of the board, the separating zone including one elongated through hole. A first group of electronic components that is a source of heat or electric noise is placed in a first area on the center side with respect to the separating zone of the board. On the other hand, a second group of electronic components from which influence of heat or electric noise from other components needs to be eliminated to a maximum extent is placed in a second area on the edge side with respect to the separating zone of the board.
