General Information
Introduction
VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) is the master controller for electric vehicles.
VCU receives the sensors and driver input signals, including pedal inputs, vehicle speed signals,
and other inputs, manages the system energy, commands the driver demanded torque to
powertrain, coordinates vehicle components, achieves fault diagnosis, and determines the
overall vehicle drivability.
VCU plays a critical and supervisory role in the vehicle control network, or CAN bus-based
network.
Functionality
EV2274A has the following functions:
Material
The shell of VCU is formed by aluminum die-casting and assembled with silicone rubber. There
is no special treatment or plating on the outside of the shell, no sharp burrs and sharp edges.
The nominal dimensions of the VCU shell are as follows (excluding the female end of the VCU
connector, in mm):
The socket model used for disassembling the shell: Torx T15. The product identification label is
affixed to the VCU shell, which contains the product identification code, customer information,
date, batch number, serial number, etc.
Harness Connector
VCU uses the world-renowned “TE connectivity” brand connector, which is a qualified product
that meets the automotive safety level and has 121 pins. The specific models of the connectors
are as follows.

Description
The low-side driver is a low-side switch controlled by SPI and GPIO. All of it channels have fault
diagnosis function.
Main difference:
• Driving current
• With or without PWM function

VCU
Note:
1. “--” = Not installed
2. Before using, all low-side driver channels need to use the module in chapter 3.10.9 of the
"EcoCoder User Manual" to set PWR12V_DRVP to 1.
3. The total load of all low-side driver channels should not exceed 5A.
Note:
1) Please refer to Chapter 3.8 of "EcoCoder Instruction Manual" for the usage of the fault
diagnosis function.
2) The low-side drive channels have short-circuit protection. When it is enabled, if a channel is
short-circuited to the ground, it will automatically activate the short-circuit protection function.
This function may cause the channel to have a fault code jump phenomenon in this case, which
is normal.
3) When LSO03 and LSO17-19 are configured as OPWM, the reference values of frequency and
duty cycle are shown in the following table (test conditions: BATT = 12V, load = 24Ohm, duty
cycle is all calculated as positive duty cycle).

Description
CAN interface circuit is used for communication between VCU and other vehicle electronic
controllers, and the communication speed can reach 1Mbit/s. CANA interface is integrated in
the power chip. CANA supports any frame wake-up function, and CANB supports a specific
frame wake-up function.

5V Output
Description
The 5V voltage output channel can provide 5V power supply voltage for external sensors and
has the following functions:

• 5 Channels of sensor 5V power supply output
• Invert connection protection, short circuit protection, over-temperature protection
OTP
Description
OTP (One Time Programmable) is a memory type of MCU. OTP means after the program is
burned into the MCU, it cannot be changed and erased. The OTP area of EV2274A is 12KB, 2K of
them have been occupied by the factory flashing product identification code. Thus, users have
10K OTP area to use.

Installation Requirements
It is recommended to install the VCU in the cockpit. If the OEM wants to assemble the VCU in
another location, Ecotron’s engineers and the OEM’s engineers should evaluate the
corresponding installation location together.
The precautions for VCU installation are as follows:
1. The VCU and wiring harness installation should be firm and reliable, and there should be no
looseness. Avoid supporting the wiring harness by VCU. At the same time, the arrangement of
the VCU wiring harness should prevent and protect all wires in the wiring harness from damage
due to wear and to overheat.
2. Try to avoid installing in places where dust is easy to gather. A large amount of dust
accumulation will affect the reliability of VCU work.
3. VCU should keep away from the location where the temperature of the shell itself may exceed
85°C. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the surrounding parts from releasing heat to
the VCU.
4. Avoid installing the VCU in locations where oil, moisture, and water droplets are likely to splash
on it.
5. Avoid the possibility of additional mechanical shock and external impact due to the installation
position and fixing method of the VCU and avoid installing the VCU at the resonance point of the
car body.
6. Avoid installing the VCU where it may come into contact with the battery or other parts that are
prone to seepage of acid and alkaline solutions and near the VCU power terminal.
7. VCU should be installed in the horizontal and vertical position according to the connector
downwards and maintain a certain angle to prevent water from entering the connector. In the
horizontal direction, the recommended installation angle is -170° to -10°, as shown in Figure
13 below. In the vertical direction, the recommended installation angle is -170°~ -10°, as shown
in Figure 14 below.
Ecotron recommends using the six installation points on the VCU for installation and fixation. It
is recommended to use metal materials such as aluminum alloy for the mounting bracket. The
housing should have a reliable electrical connection with the vehicle body through the bracket.
If other materials are used, the customer must ensure that they can meet the requirements of
VCU for vibration, heat dissipation, temperature, EMC, etc. If there is any deviation, it needs to
be confirmed with Ecotron.
The VCU system adopts Ground through the vehicle’s body. The specific requirement is to
directly connect the ground wire in the wiring harness to the vehicle’s body and ensure reliable
electrical connections.
