AC-VOLTAGE SENSOR CIRCUIT, INVERTER CIRCUIT, AND POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18202637 titled 'AC-VOLTAGE SENSOR CIRCUIT, INVERTER CIRCUIT, AND POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a circuit that measures AC voltage and is connected to an inverter circuit.

  • The circuit includes a sense-signal isolation circuit to ensure accurate voltage measurement.
  • The inverter circuit and a control circuit are connected together through the AC-voltage sensor circuit.
  • The AC output unit of the inverter circuit has two power supply lines.
  • The AC-voltage sensor circuit measures the voltage difference between the first and second lines for a reference-voltage node.


Original Abstract Submitted

An AC-voltage sensor circuit is connected to an AC output unit of an inverter circuit. A control circuit and the inverter circuit are isolation-connected. The AC-voltage sensor circuit includes a sense-signal isolation circuit. The inverter circuit and the control circuit are isolation-connected together by the AC-voltage sensor circuit. The AC output unit includes a first line and a second line that are power supply lines. The inverter circuit includes a reference-voltage node. The AC-voltage sensor circuit is configured to output a signal indicating a voltage difference between a “voltage of the first line for the reference-voltage node” and a “voltage of the second line for the reference-voltage node”.
