Application: Monitoring circuit for photovoltaic module (Patent ID: US20240107203A1)
The patent filed by Texas Instruments Inc. describes a monitoring circuit for a photovoltaic module that includes a measurement conditioning circuit, a microcontroller circuit, and a transmitter circuit. The measurement conditioning circuit generates digital measurement data based on sensed voltage signals from PV sub-modules, while the microcontroller circuit processes this data and generates a measurement data stream. The transmitter circuit then transmits this data to a communication interface circuit. Additionally, the monitoring circuit can include voltage, current, and temperature measurement conditioning circuits, as well as analog-to-digital converters and crystal oscillators for clock synchronization.
The method outlined in the patent involves receiving sensed voltage signals and generating digital measurement data based on these signals. This data is then processed by the microcontroller circuit to create a measurement data stream, which is transmitted by the transmitter circuit to a communication interface circuit. The method also includes receiving input communication signals, generating demodulation clock signals, and converting analog signals to digital for further processing. Overall, the monitoring circuit and method described in the patent aim to efficiently monitor and transmit data from photovoltaic modules for improved performance and maintenance.
