The patent filed by STMicroelectronics NV describes a circuit designed for use as a current sense amplifier in a DC-DC converter in a hybrid vehicle. The circuit includes a floating-ground input stage that converts an input voltage signal applied between two input nodes into a current signal, and an output stage that converts this current signal back to an output voltage signal referred to ground, replicating the input voltage signal. The circuit is configured with specific transistor pairs and resistors to achieve this functionality effectively.
The claims associated with the patent detail the specific components and configurations of the circuit, including the use of P-type field-effect transistors, degeneration resistors, bias currents, cascode transistors, and load resistor circuitry. The circuit is further integrated into a system involving a DC-DC converter for transferring electric charge between batteries in a hybrid vehicle, with the circuit providing an output voltage signal indicative of the current flowing through the system. Additionally, the method outlined in the patent involves receiving an input voltage signal, converting it to a current signal using the floating-ground input stage, and then converting it back to an output voltage signal referred to ground using the output stage, mirroring the input voltage signal effectively.
