Abstract
A system includes an inverter including: a point-of-use controller for a power module, the point-of-use controller including: a positive voltage connection configured to receive a positive control voltage from a high-voltage controller; a command connection configured to receive a command from the high-voltage controller; a message connection configured to send and receive a message to and from the high-voltage controller; a negative voltage connection configured to receive a positive control voltage from the high-voltage controller; a north gate connection configured to output a north gate control signal to a north group of one or more switches; a south gate connection configured to output a south gate control signal to a south group of one or more switches; a north sense connection configured to connect to a first portion of a sensing trace; and a south sense connection configured to receive a second portion of the sensing trace.
