摘要:
A controller for a batter-drive DC motor controls the average motor current by switching a series-connected FET on and off with a pulse-width-modulated gate signal. Motor speed is changed by chaning the duty cycle of the signl, which is generated by an oscillator. An undervoltage protection circuit senses the battery voltage and compares it with a reference system that has hysteresis. An overload protection circuit senses the motor current, integrates the sensed signal, and comprares the result with a Zener reference diode that is connected in an amplifier circuit for positive feedback. The oscillators's pulse-width-modulated output, the undervoltage protection circuits's output, and the overload protection circuit's output are input to a "NOR" Logic gate, whose output drives the gate of the FET.

摘要:
A power controller with overload protection having an alternating current source (AC) connected through power lines (L1, L2) and a pair of power switching devices (FET1, FET2) and a current sensor resistance shunt (SH) in series to a load (LD). A line-derived control power supply circuit (LDS) is connected through one of the power switching devices (FET1) to the lower line (L1, L2) such that the control power supply current does not flow through the shunt (SH) or the load (LD). Close and open commands are applied from a control switch (CSW) through a threshold detector (DT) and a logic circuit (LG1) to operate a latch (LCH) that turns the power switching devices (FET1, FET2) on and off under the clocking control of a zero voltage detector (ZVD) and a zero current detector (ZCD) and the gating control of a minimum current circuit (MCC). An overload circuit (AVC, ITC, TTC) provides instantaneous trip of the latch on rupture current or timed trip of the latch on smaller overloads. Opto-isolated indicators (SS, ST) indicate trip conditions and loss of line voltage conditions as well as whether the load current is above or below a minimum current value which is a current level adequate for operation of the control system.

A power MOSFET reversing H-drive system having a first pair of N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs (Q1,Q2) connected in series with a load (LD1,LD2) to a power supply source (T1) and a second like pair of N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs (Q3,Q4) connected in series with the load (LD1,LD2) to the source (T1), each pair having a resistance voltage divider (R1-R2, R5-R6) for providing the P-channel MOSFET (Q1,Q3) with a different voltage level gate signal from the logic level input signal by which the N-channel MOSFET (Q2,Q4) is gated, an overvoltage protector (Z1,Z2) allowing extension of the supply voltage (T1) range under which the system is operable, and the on-state resistances and the flyback current capability of the intrinsic diodes (ID1-ID4) being matched to the size of the load to be driven.
摘要:
A current sense circuit (100) includes a semiconductor power switch such as a MOSFET (102) having a source metallization contact pad (14) with a conductor jumper bond wire (106) directly connected thereto in the MOSFET module housing (104), which bond wire is connected to a source terminal lead frame within the module, which lead frame extends externally of the module for connection to a load (22) and load voltage (24). The current sense circuitry includes amplifier circuitry (150, 168) having first and second inputs (122, 124) connected to the source bond wire (106) at spaced points (126, 128) along the bond wire within the module housing (104) without insertion of additional series shunt resistance in the bond wire (106) between such points (126, 128), and sensing current flow through the bond wire (106) by sensing voltage between such points (126, 128) and amplifying such voltage. A comparator (218) compares the amplified voltage against a reference voltage (226) and generates an output signal ( 232) when the amplified voltage exceeds the reference voltage by a given amount. The output signal disables gate drive to the MOSFET. The speed of the gate drive signal is improved by providing a separate gate return jumper bond wire to the MOSFET source. Another comparator (242) compares thermistor (238) voltage, measuring MOSFET temperature, against a reference voltage (246) and generates an output signal (260) which disables gate drive to the MOSFET when the latter's temperature exceeds a given level, to provide overtemperature protection in combination with overcurrent protection.

Electrically assisted safing of a solenoid linear actuator to provide shock tolerance is provided for a solenoid actuator, the actuator having an armature and at least one electromagnetic inductive coil. A controller, receiving an output from a motion sensor, adjusts an electrical power input to the electromagnetic inductive coil. When the output of the motion sensor indicates onset of an environmental transient exceeding a predetermined threshold of intensity, the controller adjusts the electrical power input such that an electromagnetic field generated by the coil is sufficient to restrain the armature in a desired position during the environmental transient.

摘要:
A motor (M) supplied by AC full-wave voltage is controlled by a triac (Q2) under the control of a double-time constant triggering circuit which has a speed setting branch (R3-C2) connected at the triac (Q2) side of the motor (M) and the other time constant branch (R1-C1) connected at the supply side of the motor (M) to provide a feedback function as well as a first time constant. A unidirectional diode (D1) is incorporated in the feedback sensing time constant branch for rendering feedback signals only on alternate half cycles to prevent oscillation and overcompensation of motor speed due to the feedback signal. A soft-start circuit, usable also in half-wave applications, is incorporated in the branch containing adjustable speed setting resistor and comprises a transistor (Q3) having its collector-emitter circuit connected in series with the adjustable resistor (R3). A resistor (R4)-capacitor(C3) time constant circuit is provided to supply time variable current to the base of the transistor (Q3) through a resistor (R5) for causing the transistor (Q3) to gradually conduct, thereby gradually decreasing its resistance and therefore gradually increasing the firing angle of the triac (Q2).

A solid state switching circuit for energizing a lamp (L) is connected around a fuse (12) across an AC supply for detecting a voltage differential at the opposite sides of a blown fuse and applying that differential across the control (g) and switching (c) electrodes of the solid state switch (SCR) to render the same conductive. Current limiting resistors (RL1 and RL2) are placed in the ends of wire conductors which are to be connected at opposite sides of the fuse, thereby to limit current flowing in the conductors over the entire length of the conductor, minimizing electrical shock hazard upon damage to the conductor.
