  • Patent number: 8148969
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement (1) for the regulation of a current (IL) through a load (RL) comprises: a resistance (RS), through which a load current (IL) flows and across which a voltage (VS) drops, which serves as a control variable (X) for the regulation of the load current (IL), a tapping point (P) for a reference voltage (Vref), which serves as a command variable (W) for the regulation of the load current (IL), and a differential amplifier for the amplification of the control deviation (W?X) between command variable (W) and control variable (X).

  • Patent number: 8143831
    Abstract: The invention to an electronic control system, controlled by a pulse width-modulated signal (SG) related to earth, for regulating the voltage (Umot) across a high-side load (M), in particular a fan control unit for motor vehicles. The circuit part that converts the pulse width-modulated signal (SG) into the reference input variable (U?) needed for the regulation uses the positive potential of the supply voltage (V2) as reference potential, so that the reference input variable (U?) is likewise related to the positive potential of the supply voltage and the control signal (SG) is converted by means of a Zener diode (D1) and by means of a resistor (R5) connected parallel to the Zener diode (D1) into a control signal related to the positive supply potential and is further converted with a low pass filter (R7, C1) into a linear control signal, which serves as input reference variable (U?).

  • Patent number: 8050544
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic control device for regulating the voltage across a high-side load, especially for regulating a fan in a motor vehicle, with a control voltage (V1) which is referenced to system ground and which is mirrored to the positive high-side supply voltage, wherein the control voltage (V1) is supplied to the base of a first transistor (Q1) operated in common-emitter connection, which transistor (Q1) has, in the emitter circuit, a first resistor (R1) and, in the collector circuit, a second resistor (R2) and, in series with the latter, the base-emitter diode of a second transistor (Q2). Compensation for temperature effects of the base-emitter voltage of the first transistor is performed by the base-emitter path of a second transistor of the same conductivity type in series with the first transistor.

  • Patent number: 8026684
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic control system for controlling a voltage across a load, in particular across a fan motor of a motor vehicle, as a function of a control signal, comprising: a setting transistor, a transistor, which activates the control channel of the setting transistor, as well as two resistors, which form a voltage divider via which the voltage across the load is fed to the emitter of the transistor, wherein the control system is designed, in the absence of the control signal, to block the control channels of all the transistors of the control system for limiting the current through all the resistors of the control system, such that, in the absence of the control signal, the control system has a quiescent current consumption in the off-state current range of the transistors.

  • Patent number: 7949235
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electronic module for a motor vehicle, in particular a fan regulator (4?) with a control input (S) for a signal, in particular a pulse width modulated signal, transmitted via a signal line (3). The electronic module is designed for the generation of an essentially constant potential (Ubias, Ubias?UBE) at the control input (S), which preferably is designed as a current-controlled, low resistance control input. The invention also concerns an arrangement (1?) for the transmission of a preferably pulse width modulated signal with: a control device (2?) for the generation of the signal, a signal line for the transmission of the signal, and an electronic module as described above.
