Abstract: A drive-sense circuit module (DSC) includes at least one regulated source circuit coupled to a load, and to a loop correction circuit. The regulated source circuit generates a power signal, which has a regulated characteristic and a controlled characteristic. At least one reference circuit applies a reference signal to loop correction circuit that establishes a reference value of the controlled characteristic. The loop correction circuit senses an effect of one or more load characteristics on a sensed value of the controlled characteristic of the power signal, and generates a comparison signal based on the sensed value and the reference value of the controlled characteristic. A regulation signal is generated based on the comparison signal, and used to regulate the regulated characteristic of the power signal.

Abstract: A sensor-less detection circuit includes a first voltage adjustment circuit providing a first output voltage at a first node using one of three input voltages. A second voltage adjustment circuit provides a second output voltage at a second node using all three, or only two, of the three input voltages. The second voltage adjustment circuit acts as an internal virtual neutral point for detecting a zero crossing event of the motor. A differential amplifier is coupled with the first and second nodes and outputs a third output voltage at a third node. A reference buffer has a reference voltage input and provides a fourth output voltage at a fourth node. A comparator is coupled with the third and fourth nodes and outputs a fifth output voltage at a fifth node, the fifth voltage indicating a zero cross event.

Abstract: A load coupled to a linear voltage regulator may create a load transient so that an output of the voltage regulator is temporarily raised to an elevated level above a regulated level. Without compensation, the linear voltage regulator may respond by turning a pass transistor completely OFF thereby losing regulation and allowing a compensation capacitor to become charged in a polarization opposite to one required for regulation. If a subsequent load transient (i.e., back-to-back load transient) is generated while the linear voltage regulator is in this condition, a large spike in the output may occur as the voltage regulator recharges the pass transistor turns back ON and as the compensation capacitor recharges. Disclosed herein is a linear voltage regulator with transient compensation circuitry to prevent the scenario described above and reduce the spike in the output.
