摘要:
A dynamic calibrating current sensor control system includes an input power supply (202) that generates an input current and a current sensor (208) interposed between the input power supply and the load. The current sensor is configured to output at least one current signal indicating a level of current delivered to the load. The dynamic calibrating current sensor control system also comprises an electronic switching control circuit (212) that generates at least one control signal to selectively connect the input power supply to the load, and an electronic drift suppression circuit (214) in signal communication with the current sensor and the switching control circuit. The drift suppression circuit is configured to generate a corrected current signal in response to applying an offset value to the current signal. The offset value cancels the drift current from the current signal in response to connecting the input power supply to the load.

Embodiments may include an XOR gate (102) that is configured to receive a first clock signal from a first clock source and a second clock signal from a second clock source, wherein the XOR logic gate is further configured to generate a switching output based on an XOR operation of the first clock signal and the second clock signal, and a rising edge detector (106) and a falling edge detector (108) that are configured to detect a rising edge and a falling edge of the switching output. Embodiments may also include an AND gate (112) that is configured to threshold compare the rising edge to a configurable threshold to determine if a fault condition exists indicating clock drift between the first clock signal and the second clock signal and provide an indication of the fault condition based at least in part on the comparison.

A speed detection device includes a comparator module (106), a sensor lead (102) with a node (114) connected to the comparator module, and a limit set module (104). The limit set module is connected to the sensor lead node and determines the signal strength, e.g. by determining the amplitude of the maximum and minimum peaks or by determining the root-mean-square RMS value. Two limit values are derived from the determined signal strength and delivered to a comparator module via an upper limit lead (110) and a lower limit lead (112). In this way, upper and lower limits used by the comparator vary according to amplitude variation in voltage applied to the sensor lead.
