Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis and simulation of a current sensing technique based on the estimation of the current flowing in the low-side MOSFETs of an inverter. In this case the power MOSFET is utilized as a current sensor, by estimating its internal on-state resistance. Due to the temperature dependency of the internal on-state resistance, the temperature of MOSFET die has been also estimated by measuring the internal body diode forward voltage of the power MOSFET. The proposed low-side MOSFET current sensing method will be used as current sensing in three-phase inverters for automotive applications.
