ABSTRACT:
In various embodiments, an electric motor drive system (400, FIG.4) and a motor vehicle (1000, FIG.10) include an inverter (404, FIG.4) adapted to generate (604, FIG.6), based on inverter control inputs, a number, N, of phase current waveforms (118, FIG.1), and a phase current sampling apparatus (408, FIG.4) having a same number, N, of current sensors (502, 503, 504, FIG.5). Each of the current sensors is adapted to receive one of the phase current waveforms, and the current sensors are adapted simultaneously to sample the phase current waveforms and to generate digital values representing amplitudes of the phase current waveforms. The system and motor vehicle also include a controller (410, FIG.4) adapted to receive the digital values, to perform an evaluation of the digital values, and to generate the inverter control inputs (462, FIG.4) based on the evaluation.
