Modern vehicle has a lot of ECU(Electronic Control Unit) products to control many parts such as engine, transmission, brake, body and so on. ECU quality is one of important factors related to vehicle quality and driver's safety. Based on Bath-tub curve which presents failure rate during product lifetime, we designed and applied Accelerated Run-in Test into manufacturing line by simulating stress amount to ECU and developing the required software and efficient test equipment for mass production. This test makes ECU products stressed through electrical and thermal stresses under excessive driving condition, which induce potential initial failure of components in the ECU during production. The outcome until these days proved that Acceleration Run-in Test have reduced initial failure rates and increased quality of ECU products in the field outstandingly.

ESD damage by Charged Cable Model (CCM) is introduced. Due to its own impedance characteristic unlike Human Body Model (HBM) or Machine Model (MM) electric component can be destroyed even though it is located after typical protection circuit. Possible mechanism of ESD damage to automotive electric control unit (ECU) in vehicle environment by CCM discharge was investigated. Based on investigation, field-returned vehicle whose ECU is expected to be damaged by CCM discharge was tested to reproduce it and similar electric component destruction inside ECU was observed. Suggestions to reduce the possibility of ESD damage by CCM are introduced.

자동차 내부 진단 데이터를 수집하기 위해서는 다양한 자동차 부품에 포함되어 있는 ECU(Electronic Control Unit)의 진단데이터를 수집하여야 한다. ECU의 진단데이터를 수집하기 위해서는 진단통신을 활용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 표준 진단 통신을 통해 ECU의 기능에 따른 진단데이터를 수집하는 방법과 진단통신 모듈에 대해서 분석하였다. 많은 자동차 제조사가 사용하는 자동차 전장 표준인 AUTOSAR의 표준 모듈 중에서 진단 통신 모듈에 대해서 연구하였으며, 진단데이터 처리가 ECU를 통해 처리되는 과정에 대해서 연구하였다.

차량에 사용되는 ECU에는 CPU 코어, 차량통신 콘트롤러, 메모리 인터페이스, 센서 인터페이스, I/O 인터페이스 등이 집적되어 있다. 현재 사용되는 차량용 ECU는 대부분 자사만의 독점적 프로세서 아키텍쳐로 개발하였으나, 최근 자율주행자동차 및 커넥티드카에서 소프트웨어 범용성을 위해 ARM, RISC-V와 같은 표준 프로세서를 기반으로 한 차량용 ECU의 수요가 급증하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 명령어 집합이 무료로 공개된 RISC-V를 기반으로 하여 주차 보조 시스템에 사용하기 위한 차량용 ECU를 설계하였다. 개발된 ECU는 32b RISC-V CPU 코어, CAN, LIN 등의 IVN 콘트롤러, ROM, SRAM 등의 메모리 인터페이스, SPI, UART, I2C 등의 I/O 인터페이스를 내장하였다. 65nm CMOS 공정에서 구현한 결과는 동작 주파수 50MHz, 면적 0.37㎟, 게이트 수 55,310개였다.

In Korea, the number of LPG vehicles is increasing continuously because LPG is cheaper than Gasoline. Also in Europe, the CNG fuel is a good solution to meet $CO_2$ regulation. In order to use LPG/CNG fuel, new EMS ECU must be developed for every type of vehicles and it requires huge development cost. In order to reduce development cost and time, SIEMENS VDO has developed an Interface Box. It supports EMS ECU in the car and manages LPG/CNG fuel injection system. Basically the Interface box can be used with any kind of EMS ECU. The Interface Box controls LPG/CNG injector through the injection command of gasoline EMS ECU. It calculates required amount of based on the fuel temperature and pressure and sends feedback signal to ECU for fuel correction. Also, it controls LPG/CNG specific actuator such a Shut off valves and LPG switch inputs.

Due to environmental regulations (RoHS, WEEE and ELV) of the European Union, electronics and automotive electronics have to eliminate toxic substance from their devices and system. Especially, reliability issue of lead-free solder joint is increasing in car electronics due to ELV (End-of-Life Vehicle) banning from 2016. We have prepared engine control unit (ECU) modules soldered with Sn-40Pb and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solders, respectively. Degradation characteristics of solder joint strength were compared with various conditions of automobile environment such as cabin and engine room. Thermal cycle test (TC, $-40^{\circ}C$ ~ ($85^{\circ}C$ and $125^{\circ}C$), 1500 cycles) were conducted with automotive company standard. To compare shear strength degradation rate with eutectic and Pb-free solder alloy, we measured shear strength of chip components and its size from cabin and engine ECU modules. Based on the TC test results, finally, we have known the difference of degradation level with solder alloys and use environmental conditions. Solder joints degradation rate of engine room ECU is superior to cabin ECU due to large CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) mismatch in field condition. Degradation rate of engine room ECU is 50~60% larger than cabin room electronics.

Remanufacturing of automobile parts is important for increasing the recycling resources. ECU(Electronic Control Unit) systems are becoming an increasingly important part of an automobile. But production company are reported in the ECU remanufacturing industry of domestic automobile parts due to a lack of remanufacturing technology and marketability. This paper introduces the ECU of remanufacturing, also grasps the structure and the analyzes failure cause that is external factors and fault in the characteristic design and steps in the Independent ECU remanufacturing process. The ECU manufacturing industry of the US was examined. The results in this paper could be used as the system information for further remanufacturing industry of domestic automobile parts.

The automotive transmission is the principal component of the power transmission system which converts the engine power into the adjustable power for the vehicle driving system. To the unskilled driver the automization of transmission is required for the safety and fuel economy. In this study, the dynamic model of the automotive power transmission system was presented and simulation program and interface board which interface IBM-PC with ECU was devloped. Through the traveling simulation by interfacing ECU with simulation program, the shifting transients are investigated. For verification of simulation experiment was carried out, the results of simulation was agreed well with those of simulation.

요즘 자동차 제작비용 중 차량용 전자장치에 사용되는 비용이 30% 이상을 차지하고 있다. 따라서 차량용 전자장치에 사용되는 비용 절약의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 그런데, 완성차 업체들은 차량용 전장부품을 제작하는 일을 대부분 외주 업체에 맡기기 때문에 전장부품의 테스트 및 디버깅의 복잡도가 증가하고 있다. 이로 인해, 차량용 전장부품의 테스트 시에 발생하는 결함의 위치를 찾아내는데 많은 비용과 시간을 소비하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 차량용 전장부품을 대상으로 통합 테스팅을 수행하는 검사자가 메모리상의 결함후보를 축소할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 본 기법에서는 메모리 맵을 이용하여 메모리를 분할하고, 분할된 메모리 영역에 메모리 갱신 정보를 적용해 각 분할 영역의 결함 의심도를 계산한다. 이렇게 계산된 결함 의심도를 기준으로 분할 영역들의 결함 의심순위를 결정할 수 있다. 제안하는 기법을 이용해 결함 후보 영역을 전체 메모리 크기의 1/6 정도로 축소했다.

We suggest a process for the basic software configurations and application development in the mode management design of AUTOSAR-based ECU. Mode management is an essential task and AUTOSAR provides the mode management components for the runtime state handling of an ECU, such as BswM, application mode manager and RTE. BswM is used to meet the custom's requirements for ECU state handling. The behavior of BswM is configured with a set of rules in the form of "if-else" statements, so it is a complicated job and a potential source of errors as the number of rules increases. These difficulties can be overcome using the Model-Based Development approach, which is widely used in the AUTOSAR SW development. An efficient process is proposed to apply the MBD approach to the BswM configuration. An application mode development process is also proposed to improve the mode management design by combining the MBD process. Development tools are developed to adapt these proposed processes to the traditional ones. Simulation and experimental results are provided to prove the feasibility of the proposed approach.
