    Abstract: An electronic sensor includes a signal generator configured to output excitation signals and a variable differential transformer connected to the signal generator to receive excitation signals. Embodiments of the variable differential transformer may include a primary coil, a first secondary coil connected to the signal generator, a second secondary coil connected to the signal generator, and a core disposed at least partially in a magnetic field generated via the first secondary coil and the second secondary coil and the first excitation signal and the second excitation signal. A phase of an output signal of the primary coil may correspond to a position of the core.

    Abstract: A current sensing system includes a pre-calibrated busbar, a voltage sensor, a temperature sensor and a controller. The pre-calibrated busbar has a known resistance, a known variation in resistance with respect to temperature and known dimensions. The voltage sensor detects a difference in voltage between a first location and a second location on the pre-calibrated busbar. The temperature sensor detects an ambient temperature of the pre-calibrated busbar. The controller determines a resistance of the busbar between the first location and the second location based on the known resistance, known variation in resistance, known dimensions and the ambient temperature. The controller additionally determines a current flowing through the pre-calibrated busbar based on the difference in voltage and the determined resistance. The current sensing system has numerous applications including using the determined current to control an operating condition of a solid state circuit breaker or a solid state power controller.

    Abstract: A power converter system includes a printed circuit board having a first connector for receiving low voltage control signals and a second connector for receiving input voltages from one or more power generators and transmitting output voltages to a power distribution unit. Power devices are mounted onto the printed circuit board to manage the input voltages and to generate the output voltages. An enclosure is mounted around the printed circuit board and power devices. The power devices engage interior surfaces of the enclosure forming a conductive heat path between the power devices, the interior surfaces, and exterior surfaces of the enclosure. The heat path conductively transfers heat from the power devices to the exterior surfaces.

    Abstract: A gate drive circuit of a wide band gap power device (IGBT) includes a buffer, a di/dt sensing network, a turn-on circuit portion and turn-off circuit portion. The buffer, responsive to turn-on, supplies a first current via the first current path to the gate of the IGBT, and responsive to turn-off ceases the supply of the first current. The di/dt sensing network receives a feedback control signal representative of a voltage measurement across a parasitic inductance that exists between a Kelvin emitter and a power emitter of the IGBT. The turn-on circuit portion, responsive to turn-on and a parasitic inductance of zero volts, supplies a second current via a second current path to the gate of the IGBT. The turn-off circuit portion, responsive to turn-off and a parasitic inductance of zero volts, discharges a gate capacitance of the IGBT through both the first current path and a third current path.
