Abstract: A system and method for monitoring analog front-end (AFE) circuitry of an inductive position sensor. A redundant AFE channel is provided and alternatively utilized with a sine AFE channel or a cosine AFE channel of the AFE circuitry to obtain a voltage difference that may result in a detection angle error at the electronic control unit (ECU) of the inductive position sensor.

Abstract: A hysteretic power converter constituted of: a switched mode power supply comprising an inductor, an electronically controlled switch and an output capacitor, the switch arranged to alternately open and close a loop with the inductor and a power source; a hysteretic comparator, a first input coupled to a feedback connection and arranged to receive from the feedback connection a feedback signal providing a first representation of the voltage across the output capacitor, the electronically controlled switch opened and closed responsive to an output of the hysteretic comparator; a reference voltage source arranged to generate a reference voltage, the generated reference voltage coupled to a second input of the hysteretic comparator; and a voltage coupler, the voltage coupler arranged to couple a second representation of the voltage across the output capacitor to the second input of the hysteretic comparator, such that the second representation is added to the generated reference voltage.
