    摘要: An apparatus to monitor and control a switching rate in a switch includes a differentiator circuit including a capacitor and a configurable resistor. The differentiator circuit further includes an input terminal of the capacitors configured to receive a first voltage from a switch and a differentiator node configured to receive a differentiated voltage based on the first voltage. The apparatus includes a peak detector circuit coupled to the differentiator node and configured to detect a peak value of the differentiated voltage. The apparatus further includes a driver circuit coupled to the peak detector circuit and configured to adjust a control signal to the switch responsive to the detected peak value of the differentiated voltage.

    摘要: Modulating a gate drive current supplied to an output drive switch coupled to an electric motor by performing at least the following: obtain a gate drive current modulation profile, supply, based on the gate drive current modulation profile, a first gate drive current level as the gate drive current when the output drive switch is operating within a first region, drop the first gate drive current level to a second gate drive current level when the output drive switch transitions from the first region to operating within a Miller region, increase the second gate drive current level to a third gate drive current level within the Miller region, and set the gate drive current to a fourth gate drive current level when the output drive switch transitions from the Miller region to operating within a third region.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a voltage divider circuit including a plurality of series- connected capacitors and including an input terminal of one of the capacitors configured to receive a first voltage from a switch, and a ring node comprising the connection between at least two of the series-connected capacitors. The apparatus further includes a negative clamp circuit coupled to the ring node of the voltage divider circuit and a bias voltage node. The bias voltage node is configured to receive a bias voltage and responsive to a ring voltage on the ring node being less than the bias voltage, the negative clamp circuit is configured to clamp the ring voltage at a first threshold voltage. The apparatus also includes a peak detector circuit coupled to the ring node of the voltage divider circuit and configured to detect a peak amplitude of the ring voltage. The apparatus further includes a switch driver coupled to the peak detector circuit and configured to adjust a control signal to the switch responsive to the detected peak amplitude.
