実施の形態について更に詳述する。
〈ワイヤレス給電システムの構成〉
図1に、実施の形態1に係る通信制御装置を搭載したワイヤレス給電システムを例示する。同図に示されるワイヤレス給電システム1は、送電側のワイヤレス通信装置(以下、「送電側装置」と称する。)3と、受電側のワイヤレス通信装置(以下、「受電側装置」と称する。)2と、を含む。ワイヤレス給電システム2では、近距離無線通信によって、送電側装置3と受電側装置2との間で相互にデータの送信と受信が可能とされる。当該近距離無線通信は、例えば、NFCによる近距離無線通信(以下、単に、「NFC通信」と称する。)である。また、ワイヤレス給電システム1では、送電側装置3から受電側装置2への非接触(ワイヤレス)による電力供給が可能とされる。特に制限されないが、ワイヤレス給電システム1は、電磁共鳴方式のワイヤレス給電システムであり、NFCによる通信に用いるアンテナと電磁共鳴方式のワイヤレス給電に用いるアンテナとを共用し、電力の送電・受電と情報伝達のための通信とを切り替えて行うことが可能とされる。
図3は、通信制御装置10を構成する実装基板100の模式的な断面を例示する説明図である。
通信制御装置10においてワイレス給電によるバッテリ13の充電が行われる場合、先ず、通信制御装置10が送信側装置3との間でNFC通信を行うことにより、バッテリの残量情報やワイレス給電のための各種情報のやり取りを行い、送信側装置3が送信すべき電力量を決定する。その後、送電側装置3から前記決定した電力量に応じた交流信号が送信され、受電側装置2がその交流信号から電力を受電し、バッテリ13の充電を行う。バッテリ13の充電時は、大きな電力量の交流信号がアンテナを介して受電側装置2に入力されるため、検出部25によって電圧の上昇を検知してスイッチ部18をオフさせることにより、通信回路21に大電力の信号が入力されるのを防ぎ、通信回路21を保護する。一方、NFC通信時は、送信側装置3から比較的電力量の小さい交流信号が送信され、電源回路12がその交流信号に基づいて電圧を生成する。このとき、通信回路21が電源回路12によって生成された電圧を動作電源として動作することにより、NFC通信が実現される。このNFC通信時に、電源回路12における交流信号が供給される整流回路19(整流回路19の入力ラインや整流回路19内部の信号配線等)は、最も大きなノイズ源となる。そのため、整流回路19やそれに接続される信号配線等から通信系経路41及び通信回路21にノイズが伝播し、通信回路21の通信特性に悪影響を及ぼす虞がある。そこで、本実施の形態に係る通信制御装置10では、実装基板100における電源回路12から通信系経路41及び通信回路21へのノイズの伝播を抑えるためのレイアウト配置を以下のようにする。
前述したように、通信系経路41は、受信用信号経路LRxと送信用信号経路LTxとを含む。受信用信号経路LRxは、導電層L1以外の導電層L2~L4を経由せずに、アンテナ電極AP,ANと通信回路21と接続するように形成される。具体的には、図5乃至8に示されるように、アンテナ電極AP、ANと通信回路21の外部端子Rxp、Rxnとが、導電層L1に配置された、整合回路14、スイッチ回路SWP、SWN、及び整合回路16と、それらの間を結ぶ導電層L1に形成された配線パターンとを経由して接続される。これによれば、アンテナ電極AP、ANと通信回路21との間の信号経路に形成される寄生抵抗や寄生容量、寄生インダクタによるインピーダンスの不連続点の発生を抑えることができるので、通信回路21に供給される受信信号の劣化を抑えることができ、通信制御装置10の通信特性を向上させることが可能となる。
NFC通信において通信制御装置10から送信する送信信号は、その波形の形状がNFC通信の規格を満足しなければならない。そのため、従来は、通信制御装置10の製造段階において、実装基板100に各種部品を実装した後に送信用信号経路LTx上に形成された整合回路17の容量素子の容量値を調整することで、規格を満足する信号波形が得られる容量値を決定していた。例えば、整合回路17を構成する容量素子の一つとしてトリマコンデンサを実装し、そのトリマコンデンサの容量値を可変して容量値毎の送信波形を確認することで、トリマコンデンサの最適な容量値を決定していた。または、実装基板に半田付けされた整合回路17を構成する容量素子(チップコンデンサ)を付け替えることで容量値を可変し、容量素子毎の送信波形を確認することで最適な容量値の容量素子を決定していた。しかしながら、前者の手法によれば、整合回路17の容量値のチューニングは容易であるが、チップコンデンサに比べて規模の大きいトリマコンデンサを実装するためのスペースを実装基板の実装面に確保する必要があるため、実装基板の面積が大きくなってしまうという問題がある。また、後者の手法によれば、人手作業によってチップコンデンサを付け替える手間がかかってしまう。
〈ノイズ伝播を抑制するためのスリットが形成されたグラウンドパターン〉
実施の形態2に係る通信制御装置の実装基板は、グラウンドパターンGP10~GP40の所定の領域にスリットが形成される点で、実施の形態1に係る実装基板と相違する。なお、実施の形態2に係る通信制御装置10Aの回路構成は、実施の形態1に係る通信制御装置10と同様であるため、その詳細な説明を省略する。
上述したように、通信制御装置10の給電時には、アンテナ11で受電した電力が電源ICとそれに外付けされたコイル23及び容量COUT等によって構成されるDC-DCコンバータ(降圧型のスイッチングレギュレータ)によって所望の電圧に変換され、バッテリ13の充電に利用される。このとき、コイル23には大きな電流が流れるため、コイル23の発熱量は他の電子部品に比べて大きくなる。
〈単一の導電層に形成された給電系経路〉
