  • Device with top-side base plate
    Patent number: 10658276
    Abstract: A device includes an integrated circuit (IC) die, a top-side base plate to which the IC die is mounted, and a body attached to the top-side base plate such that the IC die is inside the body, the body configured for attachment to a printed circuit board (PCB) such that the top-side base plate faces away from the PCB. The device may or may not include legs that abut the PCB upon installation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 16, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 19, 2020
    Assignee: Tesla, Inc.
    Inventors: William Thomas Chi, Mehmet Ozbek, Satish Thuta

  • Method and system for controlling a power converter system connected to a DC-bus capacitor
    Patent number: 8717788
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling a power converter system with a direct current (DC)-bus capacitor connected to at least a first converter and a second converter. The first converter is with associated first current and the second converter is with associated second current. Switching states of the first and second converters are determined. The switching states of the second converter are sequenced relative to the first converter to reduce a difference of sums of the associated first and second currents between adjacent time intervals.

  • Method and system for controlling a power converter system connected to a DC-bus capacitor
    Patent number: 8233294
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling a power converter system with first, second, and third phase legs with respective first, second, and third associated phase currents determine direction of current flow in at least two phase legs and switch states of the power converter system in response to the current flow directions to reduce ripple current in a connected direct current (DC)-bus capacitor.

  • Carrier-based pulse-width modulation (PWM) control for matrix converters
    Patent number: 7869236
    Abstract: A matrix converter includes a plurality of switches that electrically connect a multi-phase input voltage source to a multi-phase load; and a controller to output pulse-width modulated (PWM) switching signals to control the switches to produce a multi-phase output voltage from the multi-phase input voltage source. The controller outputs the PWM switching signals by modulating a carrier signal with a time-varying signal having a frequency determined from a desired output frequency for the output voltage.
