  • COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT FOR FLYBACK POWER CONVERTER WITH SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER
    Publication number: 20170373606
    Abstract: A method for communicating with a power converter comprises initiating a communication sequence by sensing a first distortion of a sensed waveform during a discharge period of a first power transfer cycle of the power converter. The sensed waveform is proportional to a secondary current of the power converter. At a primary side of the power converter, a data bit is received from a secondary side of the power converter, by sensing a second distortion to represent one state of the data bit and sending an absence of the second distortion to represent another state of the data bit. The secondary distortion is applied to the secondary current during the discharge period of a subsequent power transfer cycle.

  • Determination of fuse life in a fuse system
    Patent number: 9851393
    Abstract: A fuse system includes a fuse element configured to receive a current. A controller is operatively connected to the fuse element and has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions for executing a method for determining a remaining fuse life (LR) of the fuse element. Execution of the instructions by the processor causes the controller to determine a temperature (T) of the fuse element. The fuse system may be part of a vehicle. The controller may be configured to determine if the remaining fuse life is below first and second thresholds. If the remaining fuse life is above the second threshold, a first message may be displayed to a vehicle display. If the remaining fuse life is below the second threshold, the vehicle may be shifted to a predefined alternative operating mode.
