  • Patent number: 11940473
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for compensating for an offset in switching current sensing in an improved method using a Rogowski coil and an Op-amp. According to the present disclosure, when a Rogowski current sensor and an Op-Amp integrator are used to sense a switching current of a motor driving inverter, a DC-DC converter, or the like, the fact that an offset value of an output of the integrator varies depending on a duty value of a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control signal is used, so that offset calibration software is applied to automatically generate an offset value table at the beginning of power up of a controller and compensate for a sensed value of the current in real time by referring to the value. As a result, there is no need to perform conventional manual tuning.
