DTC P0A94-588 DC / DC Converter Performance: Description

Refer to the description of the boost converter. (See DTC P0A94-442 DC / DC CONVERTER PERFORMANCE  )

The boost converter switches the power transistor on and off based on drive signals received from the MG ECU, in order to change the current flowing into the reactor. Also, the boost converter regulates the duration of the switching time through Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control, in order to control the boosting voltage. The MG ECU monitors the drive signals and detects a malfunction.
