  • Publication number: 20230305041
    Abstract: A voltage measurement system and method is provided. Aspects include a comparator having a positive and a negative input terminal, a processor configured to supply a reference voltage signal to the negative input terminal, wherein the positive input terminal receives an input voltage, setting the reference voltage signal to a zero voltage signal, determine a line frequency of the input voltage based on a timing signal from the comparator and determining a first pulse width of the input signal based on the timing signal, set the reference voltage to a PWM signal with a fixed duty cycle, receive the timing signal from the output of the comparator, determine a rising edge and a falling edge associated with the input voltage based on the timing signal, and determine a peak value of the input voltage based on a second pulse width between the rising and falling edge.

  • Publication number: 20230231504
    Abstract: A motor drive system includes a direct current (DC) bus that provides a DC link voltage across a DC link capacitor, and a split DC link mid-point circuit connected in parallel with the DC link capacitor. The split DC link mid-point circuit establishes a mid-point reference based on the DC link voltage. A power inverter is in signal communication with the DC bus. The power inverter includes one or more gate driver units configured to drive one or more corresponding switches. Each gate driver unit includes a mid-point ground connection that is connected to the mid-point reference. The split DC link mid-point circuit can define a voltage divide that establishes the mid-point reference and can be used to monitor the DC link voltage.
