    Abstract: Multiple sensors are coupled to a first pin of a PSI5 transceiver to receive a sensor bus signal. A Manchester decoder is coupled to a second pin and a battery is coupled to a third pin. A comparator receives a first voltage that is proportional to a current on the sensor bus signal and a second voltage that is proportional to a base current on the sensor bus signal and sends a data output signal to the second pin. A sample-and-hold circuit captures a third voltage used to effect the second voltage responsive to a high value on a base current sampling signal. A base-current-renewal circuit detects edge transitions on the data output signal and when the data output signal has no edge transitions for a period of time greater than a gap time defined in a PSI5 standard, sets the base current sampling signal high.

    Abstract: Described embodiments include a voltage converter power circuit having a high-voltage rated first transistor with a first current terminal coupled to an input voltage terminal, and a second current terminal. A second transistor, a low-voltage rated transistor, has a second control terminal, a third current terminal coupled to the second current terminal, and a fourth current terminal coupled to a switching terminal. A third transistor, a high-voltage rated transistor, has a fifth current terminal coupled to the switching terminal, a sixth current terminal, and a third control terminal. A fourth transistor, a low-voltage rated transistor, is coupled between the sixth current terminal and a ground terminal. A bleeder circuit is coupled between the seventh and eighth current terminals and is configured to prevent a voltage across the fourth transistor from exceeding a breakdown voltage.

    Abstract: A current sink circuit coupled to pull down a gate control node (GCN) for an NMOS power FET that controls an actuator includes first and second NMOS transistors coupled in series between the GCN and a lower rail, where the first NMOS transistor has a gate and drain coupled together through a resistor. The current sink circuit also includes a control signal generation circuit (CSGC) and a negative voltage blocking circuit (NVBC). The CSGC is coupled to receive at least one voltage input and an ignition signal and to provide a first control signal and a second control signal. The NVBC is coupled to pass the first control signal from the control signal generation circuit to the gate of the first NMOS transistor and to block a negative voltage on the GCN from reaching the CSGC. The second control signal is coupled to the gate of the second NMOS transistor.

    Abstract: An electronic control unit (ECU) operates between first and second voltage rails and includes an amplifier circuit and a single current sense circuit coupled to carry a signal to a bus pin and to protect the bus pin from both a short to ground and a short to battery. The single current sense circuit includes a switch circuit that passes the signal to the bus pin and a forward current sensing circuit that provides a second current that is proportional to an output current at the bus pin. The forward current sensing circuit causes the second current to be substantially zero when voltage on the bus pin is above a given value. The single current sense circuit also includes a forward current protection circuit and a reverse current switching circuit that receives the second current and closes a connection to the second voltage when the second current is zero.

    Abstract: An angular resolver system includes, for example, an imbalance detector for detecting degraded resolver output signals. The imbalance detector includes a first and second power averaging circuits and a comparator circuit. The first power averaging circuit includes a first integrator for generating over a first time window a first average power signal in response to resolver sensor output signals. The second power averaging circuit includes a second integrator for generating over a second time window a second average power signal in response to the resolver sensor output signals, where the first time window is longer than the second time window. The comparator circuit compares the first average power signal and the second average power signal and generates a fault signal when the first average power signal and the second average power signal differ by a selected voltage threshold.
