Abstract: An apparatus and method of detecting movement of a plunger of the solenoid includes detecting a peak (IPEAK) in a current signal applied to a coil of the solenoid. A predetermined threshold is added to the current signal applied to the coil of the solenoid to generate a level shifted signal. The level shifted signal and the peak signal are compared to detect movement of a plunger of the solenoid.

Abstract: An electronic circuit for controlling a power switch having a gate input, includes a signal generator configured to generate a gate driver input signal. The gate driver input signal has a first voltage during a first period of time, a second voltage during a second period of time, and toggles between the first voltage and the second voltage during a third period of time. The electronic circuit also includes a gate driver configured to receive the gate driver input signal and to provide a gate driver output signal based on the gate driver input signal. The signal generator is configured to cause the gate driver input signal to toggle during the third period of time such that the gate driver output signal has a third voltage during the second period of time, and an intermediate voltage that is less than the third voltage during the third period of time.

Abstract: In an example, a rectifier circuit includes first and second capacitors, first and second current control devices, and a switch. The first current control device is configured to provide an input current to the first capacitor during a positive cycle of an alternating current (AC) input voltage. The second capacitor is configured to store a charge and the switch is configured to couple the second capacitor to a ground terminal so the second capacitor discharges a capacitor current during the positive cycle of the input voltage responsive to the stored charge in the second capacitor. The second current control device is configured to provide the capacitor current to the first capacitor during the positive cycle of the input voltage. The first capacitor is configured to store a charge responsive to the input current and the capacitor current.

Abstract: A motor system with an input for coupling to a motor control signal that, when presented in a predetermined state, indicates a motor receiving power should be disabled from rotating. The system also includes controller circuitry for providing a disabling signal to motor rotation, independent of processor software control signaling and the power, in response to the control signal.
