    摘要: Monitoring of current flowing through an inductive load driven through a bridge power stage in a PWM mode, comprises sampling the signal output by a sensing amplifier with a Sample & Hold circuit including a sampling switch and a storing capacitor. The average value of the current in the load is monitored by sampling at a half way point of an active driving phase and at a half way point of a current recirculation phase by closing the switch with a synchronizing pulse that coincides with the half way points of these phases of operation. The monitoring uses a pair of complementary periodic reference signals and uses a sensing amplifier to amplify the signal existing on a current sensing resistor functionally connected in series with the load. This produces an amplified signal representative of the current in the load to be fed to an input of an error amplifier driving a power amplifier of the bridge stage. The synchronizing pulse is generated in coincidence with the peak and with the virtual zero crossing of the two reference periodic signals, out of phase from one another by 180 degrees. A two-input logic AND gate, combining the synchronizing pulse and a masking signal of a preestablished duration generated at every switching of the bridge stage may also be employed.

    摘要: The operation of externally connected output power transistors of a class AB amplifier is controlled without employing any external sensing resistance of the output current by driving an externally connected power transistor through a level shifting buffer and employing a limiting network composed of an integrated transistor driven by the output of a signal amplifying stage and a resistance connected in series with its drain. The buffer stage shifts the level of the driving signal of the external power transistor by a value equal to the threshold voltage of the integrated transistor of the limiting network thus ensuring the turn-off of the external power transistor under quiescent conditions.

    摘要: The sensing of the rotor position for synchronizing the drive of a multi-phase brushless motor when driven in a "multi-polar" mode is carried out by interrupting the driving current in at least one of the windings of the motor coupled with a zero-cross sensing circuit of the BEMF signal. This done by using a first logic signal, enabling a logic gate for asserting a zero-cross event detected by the circuit by a third logic signal, and simultaneously resetting the first signal and the third signal after a certain period of time from the instant of interruption.
