Patent EP-1388930-A3 (EP)
Inventor: FORSEY WAYNE MICHAEL
IPC: H02P8/36
Filed: 2003-07-29
Abstract: Methods, devices and circuits for detecting malfunctions in stepper motors. A signal from a driver circuit to a stepper motor that is proportional to the current in the windings of the stepper motor is detected. This signal is then amplified and integrated for ease of comparison. The resulting signal is then compared to a specific entry in a table of values with each entry in the table corresponding to an operating profile of the stepper motor. If the resulting signal does not correspond to the operating profile for which the motor a configured, the stepper motor is jammed. A suitable alarm and a corresponding sequence of actions may then be triggered.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a high withstand voltage vertical field effect type semiconductor device that relaxes electric fields in a semiconductor substrate without thickening thickness of a drift region and achieves withstand-ability against high voltage without sacrificing ON-voltage, switch-OFF characteristics, and miniaturization. A field effect type semiconductor device comprises emitter regions (100,104) and gate electrodes (106) and the like on a surface (upper surface in FIG.2), a collector region (101) and the like on the other surface (lower surface in FIG.2), wherein N - -type field dispersion regions (111) of low impurity concentration are arranged between P-type body regions (103) facing to gate electrodes (106) and an N-type drift region (102) below P-type body regions (103). Thereby, the electric field between collector and emitter is relaxed and a high withstand voltage field effect type semiconductor device is realized. Another field dispersion region can be arranged between the N-type drift region (102) and P + -type collector region (101) below the N-type drift region (102).

Abstract: An amplification system and method is provided that employs a digital cross-cancellation technique which provides a separate digital signal to be input to a separate DAC to generate a cancellation signal. The cancellation signal is added to the output of the amplifier to produce a final signal with substantially reduced distortion and/or out-of-band emissions. The cancellation signal can be pre-computed or derived by generating an inverted version of the wanted signal, and combining it with a portion of the output signal to determine the error or unwanted portion of the output signal. This error signal is then combined with a delayed version of the output signal.
