Abstract:
Power supply of ECUs connected to a communication network is optimally controlled so that power consumption is reduced. A transceiver/receiver converts a message of a differential signal received via a CAN bus into a digital signal. A select circuit determines whether the converted message is in a CAN format or a UART format. If it is in the UART format, the select circuit outputs a message to the UART circuit. A UART circuit determines whether the message matches a UART format. If matched, an ID determination circuit determines whether the input message is specifying a CAN ID of its own ECU. If it is the CAN ID of the ECU, the ID determination circuit outputs an enable signal to turn on a regulator and supply power to an MCU and an actuator.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication system in which a first electronic controller unit and a second electronic controller unit are connected to each other via a communication bus,\n wherein each of the first electronic controller unit and the second electronic controller unit includes:\n a first communication protocol processing unit processing a signal of a first communication protocol via the communication bus; and \n a second communication protocol processing unit processing a signal of a second communication protocol via the communication bus on the basis of ID information; and \n each of the first electronic controller unit and the second electronic controller unit has an active mode and a low power consumption mode as operation modes, in the active mode, power is supplied to the first communication protocol processing unit and the second communication protocol processing unit, in the low power consumption mode, the power supply to the second communication protocol processing unit stops, the first electronic controller unit transmits the ID information indicating the second electronic controller unit by using the first communication protocol, and, when the second electronic controller unit receives the ID information indicating the second electronic controller unit in the lower power consumption mode, the power is supplied to the second communication protocol processing unit.
