  • Publication number: 20240235543
    Abstract: A driver can be configured to provide sensed phase currents as feedback to a controller to indicate the output currents from each phase of a switch mode power supply (SMPS). The driver can be configured to temperature compensate the sensed currents in one of two ways. If a temperature sensor is directly coupled to the driver, then the driver may be configured to temperature compensate the sensed currents from each phase based on a temperature measurement made by the temperature sensor. If a temperature sensor is not directly coupled to the driver, then the driver may be configured to temperature compensate the sensed current from each phase based on a temperature signal received from a bus coupled to the driver. The bus can communicate the temperature signal so that multiple drivers can utilize one temperature sensor.

  • Publication number: 20230375593
    Abstract: A method for inertial sensor error modeling and compensation comprises obtaining multiple bias drift datasets for an elapsed time period for one or more gyroscopes; generating a 3D bias drift data plot using the multiple bias drift datasets; generating a partial bias drift data image based on the 3D bias drift data plot; and inputting the partial bias drift data image into a machine learning algorithm to predict how bias drift evolves over time for the gyroscopes. The machine learning algorithm uses the partial bias drift data image, the elapsed time period, and temperature history to compute a predicted bias over temperature with respect to time, to thereby predict bias drift data for a future time period for the gyroscopes. The machine learning algorithm outputs a completed bias drift image that represents drift data from the elapsed time period and the predicted bias drift data for the future time period.

  • Publication number: 20230221356
    Abstract: A package for a current sense circuit may include a lead-frame having a shunt resistance configured to generate a shunt voltage, which can be used to measure a current through the lead-frame. The shunt resistance associated with the lead-frame may be highly variable with temperature, which can cause errors in the current measurement. Accordingly, a current sense circuit can include an amplifier with an input resistor having a composite temperature coefficient configured to match a lead-frame temperature coefficient so that an output of the amplifier is compensated to remove variations in the shunt resistance of the lead-frame due to temperature.
