    摘要: For determining a sensor value of a sensor (13), a first electrical supply voltage (VS1) is supplied to the sensor (13) and a first electrical resistance of the sensor (13) is detected. Then, a second electrical supply voltage (VS2) is supplied to the sensor and a second electrical resistance of the sensor (13) is detected. The second electrical supply voltage (VS2) is different from the first electrical supply voltage (VS1). The sensor value is automatically determined depending on the first electrical supply voltage (VS1), the second electrical supply voltage (VS2), the first electrical resistance, and the second electrical resistance.

    摘要: A method for measuring an electrical current with the aid of a field effect transistor inserted into a current path and an apparatus for implementing the method. A control voltage is applied between the gate and source of the transistor in such a way that the voltage drop between the drain and source at the transistor in the current path remains within a specifiable range. The voltage drop and the control voltage are determined. With these two values, and with a known relationship between the drain-source current, the drain-source voltage and the gate-source voltage the value of the current of interest can now be determined.

    摘要: A metal plate (14) is buried in a gasket (12) of a case (10) for accommodating an electric device such as an inverter. The metal plate (14) is connected to a control board (400) in the case (10), and the voltage of the metal plate (14) is determined. A reference voltage is applied to the metal plate (14), and the case (10) is grounded.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes an output terminal and a controller having a measurement input coupled to the output terminal, a first output adapted to couple to a current source to control a first current sourced into the output terminal, and a second output adapted to couple to a current sink to control a second current from the output terminal. The controller applies control signals to the first output and the second output to selectively enable the current source and disable the current sink during a first phase of a load detection period and to disable the current source and enable the current sink during a second phase of the load detection period. The controller detects the load coupled to the output terminal if a voltage at the measurement terminal during the first phase is substantially equal to a voltage at the measurement terminal during the second phase.

    摘要: A biasing device can supply a bias voltage to bias-able element by coupling a bias circuit to the bias-able element, coupling a state adjusting device to the biasing circuit, configuring the state adjusting device to 1) increase an initial biasing voltage by a first amount when an intermediate voltage threshold exceeds a voltage drop across the bias-able element and 2) increment the increased initial bias voltage by a second amount, where the second amount is a fraction of the first amount, until the voltage drop across the bias-able element substantially equals a predetermined bias voltage. The bias circuit of the biasing device can include a variable resistance, which is controlled by the state adjusting device and configured to vary the biasing voltage, in series with the bias-able element. The variable resistance can include a first variable resistance coupled in series to a first terminal of the bias-able element and a second variable resistance coupled in series to a second terminal of the bias-able element.

    摘要: A circuit and method for capacitor effective series resistance measurement. One embodiment provides a method for measuring the effective series resistance of a capacitor having a capacitor voltage. The method includes amplifying the capacitor voltage with an AC coupled amplifier yielding a first amplified signal. The capacitor is discharged with a constant current for a measurement time thus causing a voltage swing of the capacitor voltage due to a voltage drop across the effective series resistance. The capacitor voltage is amplified with the AC coupled amplifier yielding a second amplified signal being dependent on the voltage swing. The effective series resistance is calculated from the first and the second amplified signals.

    摘要: A method is provided for estimating an electrical parameter of a circuit-under-test (e.g., resistance, capacitance and/or inductance). The method acquires samples during a plurality of charging cycles rather than during just one, which allows an extended overall time period to acquire such samples. The first step involves defining a major sampling period having a plurality of minor sampling periods. A number of steps are performed for each minor sampling period: applying an excitation signal to the circuit-under-test to produce a respective induced, response signal and acquiring a respective sample of the induced signal at a respective predetermined deferral time. In an embodiment where the circuit-under-test includes an unknown capacitance, the excitation signal may be a unit step while an increase in the induced signal is governed by a charging time constant, which itself is indicative of the unknown capacitive. The electrical parameter may be determined based on the acquired samples, which collectively constitute a composite response. The composite response is processed, for example, by fitting it to a normalized capacitive charging curve, to ascertain an estimate of the unknown capacitive.
