    摘要: An apparatus with load dump protection incorporates first and second half-bridge circuits, first and second comparators, and first and second clamping circuits. The first comparator compares a supply voltage with a first set voltage and generates a first comparison signal while the supply voltage exceeds the first set voltage. The second comparator compares the supply voltage with a second set voltage and generates a second comparison signal while the supply voltage exceeds the second set voltage. The first clamping circuit divides the supply voltage and provides a divided voltage to the first half-bridge circuit in response to the second comparison signal. The second clamping circuit divides the supply voltage and provides a divided voltage to the second half-bridge circuit in response to the second comparison signal.

    摘要: An integrated circuit comprising: an input terminal configured to receive a failure-event-signal representative of a failure event; a first output terminal configured to provide a first-failure-signal; and a second output terminal configured to provide a second-failure-signal; and a processing block configured to: set the first-failure-signal based on the failure-event-signal; and set the second-failure-signal, at a predetermined time interval after the first-failure-signal is set. The processing block further comprises a switch configured selectively, based on a received digital-error-signal to either: set the second-failure-signal based on a digital-counter-output-signal; or set the second-failure-signal based on an analogue-trigger-signal.

    摘要: A motor controller includes an inverter configured to convert a direct current to an alternating current, a control unit that generates a PWM signal for driving the inverter in response to a motor drive command from an external device, and a safety circuit arranged between the inverter and the control unit. The inverter includes an upper switching element and a lower switching element. The safety circuit includes logic gates which are provided corresponding to the upper switching element and the lower switching element, respectively and each of which has two or more inputs to cut off the PWM signal based on a safety input signal.

    摘要: A motor drive circuit for use in driving a motor having two or more phases comprising a motor bridge having, for each phase of the motor, a bridge arm comprising an upper switch and a lower switch that in normal operation may be opened and closed to modulate the voltage applied to the respective phases in response to drive signals from a motor control circuit, at least one solid state phase isolation relay that is provided in series in an electrical path connecting a respective phase of the motor to a respective bridge arm, the relay being closed in normal operation so that current can flow in the phase and is held open in a fault mode of operation to prevent the flow of current in the phase. The circuit also includes monitoring means for monitoring the current waveform in the phase to provide, at least in a fault mode of operation, an output indicative of when it is safe to open the SSPIR without causing damage due to the SSPIR due to an avalanche mode, and a control circuit that during normal operation applies a voltage to each device that is sufficient to hold the SSPIR closed and which, in the fault mode of operation, responds to the output of the monitoring means to reduce the voltage applied to each SSPIR to a level that causes the SSPIR to open at the safe time.
