Abstract: The internal temperate of a transistor is determined by detecting a voltage though a terminal of an integrated circuit that is also used by an overcurrent detection circuit of the integrated circuit for detecting an overcurrent condition of the system. The overcurrent detection circuit is coupled to a current electrode of the transistor through the terminal of the integrated circuit. A determination of internal temperature is based on a voltage measurement taken from the terminal during an on phase of the transistor. The voltage measurement is converted to a digital value and is used to determine an internal temperature of the transistor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving stability of a hydrogen gaseous dispensing system. An example of such system is hydrogen powered vehicle fuel filling station. Vehicle is filled by multiple high pressure gaseous hydrogen tubes, usually one tube at a time. For safety and reliability reasons a control requirement for such system is to be able to deliver the hydrogen at constant rate to the fuel tank so that its rate of pressure increase stays constant during entire filling process. A dual pressure regulator arrangement is proposed to better maintain flow continuity and/or pressure during tube switching.
