  • Patent number: 12189443
    Abstract: A cooling system is thermally coupled to a power electronic system and configured to carry heat away from the power electronic system using a cooling agent. A system controller is configured to receive information concerning a sensed temperature of a semiconductor switch and a temperature of the cooling agent (coolant). The system controller is further configured to adjust a power of the power electronic system by controlling the switching operation of the semiconductor switch. When the temperature of the coolant is below a threshold temperature, then the controller adjusts the power of the power electronic system to a target value greater than the rated maximum power based on the sensed temperature of the semiconductor switch and the temperature of the cooling agent.

  • Patent number: 12191762
    Abstract: Large semiconductor ICs provide the processing power for billions of electronic devices used in every facet of modern life. Multiphase converters are the most common means of providing the current required for these CPUs, GPUs, and ASICs. Contemporary designs require 8, 12, 16, and even higher phase counts. Existing designs require each phase provide an independent current feedback line to the multiphase controller for current sharing purposes; this drastically increases the pin count of the controller and creates congestion in PCB routing. Our new idea moves the current sharing function to the power stage element, thereby reducing the cost of the controller and the complexity of the PCB.
