Abstract: A driver circuit arrangement for driving a transistor bridge, which includes at least a first half-bridge composed of a low-side transistor and a high-side transistor, is described herein. In accordance with one example of the description, the circuit includes a current source and a detection circuit. The current source is operably coupled to the high-side transistor of the first half-bridge and configured to supply a test current to the first half bridge. The detection circuit is configured to compare a voltage sense signal, which represents the voltage across the high-side transistor of the first half-bridge, with at least one first threshold to detect, dependent on the result of this comparison, whether a short-circuit is present in the first half-bridge.

Abstract: A method includes applying a current to an input pin of an integrated circuit; converting an analog signal at the input pin to a digital stream using a Sigma-Delta modulator; converting the digital stream to a first digital output signal proportional to the analog signal in a first input range between a first analog signal value and a second analog signal value, where the first input range corresponds to a pre-determined range of the analog signal smaller than a full-scale input range of the analog signal; converting the digital stream to a second output signal; comparing the second output signal to a first threshold corresponding to a third analog signal value at the input pin that is outside of the first input range; and providing an indication of an open circuit condition at the input pin when the second output signal crosses the first threshold.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes generating a clock signal; generating a switching signal based on the clock signal; generating a synchronization signal having an edge transition corresponding to a predetermined phase of the switching signal; transmitting the synchronization signal to a master controller; receiving a frequency adjustment command from the master controller based on the transmitted synchronization signal; and adjusting a frequency of the clock signal based on the frequency adjustment command.

Abstract: A drive circuit includes an internal oscillator and a pre-drive controller coupled to the internal oscillator. The pre-drive controller can have a switch control output configured to be coupled to a switch input. The pre-drive controller can receive switch control data, receive a clock signal, receive a synchronization signal, synchronize the internal oscillator based on the clock signal and the synchronization signal, and generate a pulse modulated switching signal at the switch control output based on the switch control data and the internal oscillator.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for monitoring the operating temperature of one or more circuit elements, such as a metal oxide field effect transistor (MOSFET) switch, where the circuit element is used to control at least one phase of an electric motor. The systems and techniques may calculate temperature by determining at least two electrical signals from the circuit element taken at least two different times. This results in an accurate temperature calculation without requiring precise knowledge of the particular characteristics of each respective circuit element.
