Patent number: 11977664Abstract: A System-on-Chip (SoC) includes first and second voltage supply pins configured to receive first and second supply voltages, respectively, a first supply path beginning at the first supply pin, and a supply proportion checker. The first supply path includes a first plurality of voltage supply nodes and a supply switch coupled between adjacent voltage supply nodes, wherein each node is configured to provide a corresponding internal voltage supply to a corresponding portion of the SoC. The supply proportion checker is coupled to receive the corresponding internal voltage supply from each voltage supply node, and configured to determine whether a first internal voltage supply supplied by a first supply node of the first plurality of nodes has a legitimate proportion to a second internal voltage supply supplied by a second supply node of the first plurality of nodes, wherein the legitimacy is checked using only resistors which do not require trimming.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: Markus Regner, Hubert Martin Bode, Stefan Doll

Publication number: 20210313921Abstract: Integrated circuitry, such as a microcontroller, for controlling an electric motor includes circuitry for measuring a bi-directional current flowing within a coil of the electric motor. The current is sensed by an externally implemented current sensing element, such as a shunt resistor, to produce a differential voltage that is delivered to input pins of the microcontroller, which are protected by electrostatic discharge protection circuits. Current sources implemented within the microcontroller are coupled to the input pins, and work in concert with external resistors to shift the differential voltage so that it is maintained within an appropriate voltage operating range so that an accurate measurement of the bi-directional current can be made by the microcontroller.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2020Publication date: October 7, 2021Applicant: NXP USA, Inc.Inventor: Hubert Martin Bode

Patent number: 10615737Abstract: A system for a power switch of a multiphase power converter coupled to an inductive load including a test controller, a voltage sampling circuit, a processing circuit, and a converter. A test pulse is applied to power switches of the converter to generate a test current through the inductive load, which forward biases a body diode of a power switch during a freewheel portion after the test pulse is completed. The voltage across the body diode is sampled during the freewheel portion, and the voltage samples are converted to a voltage value and a slope value. The voltage and slope values are converted to an estimated temperature value based on a characterization of the inductive load and the body diode. The conversion may be performed by a lookup table that stores an estimated temperature value for each unique combination of the voltage and slope values.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: Matej Pacha, Branislav Zigmund, Carlos Vazquez Goyarzu, Hubert Martin Bode, Patrik Varecha, B{hacek over (r)}etislav Zuczek
