  • Patent number: 11933848
    Abstract: In a measurement system, a signal probing circuit may provide probed signals by probing voltages and currents and/or incident and reflected waves at a port of a device under test (DUT). A multi-channel receiver structure may include receivers that receive two probed signals from the signal probing hardware circuit, each receiver having its own sample clock derived from a master clock and further having a respective digitizer for digitizing a corresponding one of the two probed signals. A synchronization block, external to the receivers and including a reference clock derived from the master clock, may enable the two probed signals to be phase coherently digitized across the receivers by synchronizing the respective sample clocks of the receivers while the reference clock is being shared with the receivers. A signal processing circuit may then process the phase coherently digitized probed signals.

  • Patent number: 11929698
    Abstract: The present invention relates to switching element protection of a BLDC motor, such as used with a power tool. The present invention checks each switching element of a power stage individually for a short circuit when a trigger of the tool is actuated. Each switching element is turned ON for a period of time (such as 1-5 microseconds, for example), current flowing through the half-bridge or the full power stage is measured, and that switching element is turned OFF. When the current is greater than or equal to a threshold (such as 5 A, for example), the controller stops and indicates a fault condition. By testing each switching element in order, the controller is able to determine whether the shorted switching element is the opposite one in the half-bridge being tested.
