    Abstract: A circuit includes a transistor configured to control pre-charging a charge storage device, and a diode coupled in parallel with the transistor. It also includes a shunt resistor coupled between the source of the transistor and a positive end of the charge storage device, an inductor coupled between the shunt resistor and the positive end of the charge storage device, and a current controller coupled to a gate of the transistor. The current controller is configured to receive a current measurement indicating an amount of current flowing through the transistor, process the current measurement to determine a switching duty cycle for the transistor, and to provide a signal to the gate of the transistor, the signal oscillating at the switching duty cycle. It also includes a power supply coupled with the source of the transistor and the drain of the transistor and configured to supply power to the current controller.

    Abstract: For reducing volume requirements and magnetic flux leakage, a compact inductor includes a first planar core with a first core thickness along a first axis orthogonal to a plane of the first planar core. In addition, the inductor includes a second planar core disposed parallel to the first planar core with a second core thickness along the first axis. The inductor further includes a plurality of electrical windings disposed between and adjacent to an inside plane of the first planar core and an inside plane of the second planar core. The electrical windings may include insulated electrical wires. No magnetic teeth may be disposed between the first planar core and the second planar core. The first axis is parallel to a magnetic axis of each electrical winding.

    Abstract: A method and controller to automatically determine a grounding condition of a motor drive, in which an inverter is operated at a predetermined frequency while a load resistor is connected between a single phase of a motor drive inverter output and a reference node, a leakage flux linkage value is computed according to a neutral-ground voltage of the motor drive, and a processor determines whether the motor drive is solid grounded, high-resistance grounded, or floating according to the leakage flux linkage value. In certain examples, the processor automatically turns the inverter off while the load resistor is connected between the single phase of the inverter output and the reference node, and automatically determines whether the motor drive is delta corner grounded according to the neutral-ground voltage.
