Smart Field-Effect Transistor (fet)
System Description
System Description
A Smart Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is a transistor used to monitor and control current flow on module outputs. The IPDM E/R uses a Smart FET protection strategy to prevent module damage in the event of excessive current flow. The Smart FET protection strategy monitors its outputs for excessive current, and when a fault occurs, shuts down the output and records a DTC.
COMPONENT FUNCTION WITHIN SYSTEM
-
Smart FET turns the each lamps ON according to the request from BCM.
-
Smart FET turns the A/C compressor (magnetic clutch) ON according to the request from ECM.
INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT FUNCTION
Smart FET supplies power supply voltage to the each lamp and the A/C compressor (magnetic clutch).
COMPONENT OPERATION
Smart FET, that uses MOS field effect transistor, is adopted for each lamp and A/C compressor (magnetic clutch) control.

NOTE:
A MOS field effect transistor is a transistor in which the gate is composed of a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS). Field effect transistor is controlled by voltage, while ordinary transistor is controlled by current. Electrode of field effect transistor is called source, drain, or gate, while electrode of ordinary transistor is called emitter, collector, or base.

Outline
-
IPDM E/R incorporates a power consumption control function that reduces the power consumption according to the Nissan Ariya vehicle status.
-
IPDM E/R changes its status (control mode) with the sleep wake up signal received from BCM via CAN communication.
Normal mode (wake-up)
-
CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
-
Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed.
Low power consumption mode (sleep)
-
Low power consumption control is active.
-
CAN transmission is stopped.
-
Sleep Mode Activation
-
IPDM E/R judges that the sleep-ready conditions are fulfilled when the ignition switch is OFF and none of the conditions below are present. Then it transmits a sleep-ready signal (ready) to BCM via CAN communication.
-
Outputting signals to actuators
-
Output requests are being received from control units via CAN communication.
-
-
IPDM E/R stops CAN communication and enters the low power consumption mode when it receives a sleep wake up signal (sleep) from BCM and the sleep-ready conditions are fulfilled.
Wake-Up Operation
-
IPDM E/R changes from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode when it receives a sleep wake up signal (wake up) from BCM or any of the following conditions is fulfilled. In addition, it transmits a sleep-ready signal (not-ready) to BCM via CAN communication to report the CAN communication start.
-
