  • Patent number: 12176890
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement and an electrical system, where in the circuit arrangement, an output terminal of a current limiting control circuit is connected to a control input of a semiconductor switch via a resistor (RG), and a gate driver is connected to the control input of the semiconductor switch via the gate resistor RG and to the resistor (R). The current limiting control circuit is configured to change its output impedance at the output terminal in order to control the semiconductor switch. A source terminal of the semiconductor switch is connected to a reference potential (GND) of the circuit arrangement, and the semiconductor switch is configured so as to set a current (I) in a circuit between an electrical power source and a load. A first inductor (L1) and a second inductor (L2) are connected in series within the circuit.

  • Publication number: 20240174129
    Abstract: A voltage measurement method for an on-board power supply system (100) of a vehicle, wherein the on-board power supply system (100) comprises a battery pack (10) with a plurality of battery cells (2) and at least one sub-grid (20, 30) which can be coupled to the battery pack (10) via contactors (SH+, SH?, SL+, SL?). According to the invention, the voltage measurement method comprises the following method steps: In an initial calibration mode with open contactors (SH+, SH?, SL+, SL?): measurement of cell voltages (UZ) of the individual battery cells (2); calculation of a pack voltage (UP) of the battery pack (10) using the measured cell voltages (UZ); measurement of a pack voltage (UP) of the battery pack (10); calculation of a first correction factor for the pack voltage (UP) using the calculated pack voltage (UP) and the measured pack voltage (UP).

  • Publication number: 20230369845
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for current limiting and an electrical system comprising such a circuit arrangement. An output terminal of a current limiting control circuit is connected to a control input of a semiconductor switch via a limiting resistor (RB). The current limiting control circuit is configured to change an output impedance of the current limiting control circuit at the output terminal. The semiconductor switch is configured to set a current (I) in a circuit between an electrical power source and a load. An inductor (L) is configured to be connected to the electrical power source and to a terminal of the load and an input of the current limiting control circuit is connected to the inductor (L). The current limiting control circuit is configured to detect an overcurrent-related voltage drop (VL) of the inductor (L) and reduce its output impedance to increase an output impedance of the semiconductor switch.

  • Publication number: 20230324465
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a plurality of current sensors connected in series. The method include determining a temperature difference between the current sensors; sensing temperature values and current values of the respective current sensors at different temperatures and currents; calculating averaged current values of two current sensors based on the current measured values sensed by the respective current sensors; calculating a current regression area for the respective current sensors through measurement points that are dependent on the temperature of the respective current sensors and the deviation of the current values sensed by the respective current sensors relative to one another; and calculating a TCR regression curve or a TCR regression area for the respective current sensors based on a deviation and an intersection curve of the respective current regression areas relative to one another and/or relative to an averaged current regression area and a temperature difference between the current sensors.
