SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATED GATE DRIVER FOR INVERTER FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106370 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATED GATE DRIVER FOR INVERTER FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system with an inverter that includes a point-of-use controller for a power module. The point-of-use controller has various connections for receiving control voltages, commands, and sending/receiving messages from a high-voltage controller. It also has connections to output control signals to switch groups and connect to sensing traces.

  • Positive voltage connection for receiving positive control voltage
  • Command connection for receiving commands from high-voltage controller
  • Message connection for sending/receiving messages to/from high-voltage controller
  • Negative voltage connection for receiving positive control voltage
  • North gate connection for outputting north gate control signal
  • South gate connection for outputting south gate control signal
  • North sense connection for connecting to first portion of sensing trace
  • South sense connection for receiving second portion of sensing trace

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in solar power systems, electric vehicle charging stations, and energy storage systems.
