Application: Sensor mirror circuitry with reduced error compounding (Patent ID: US20240103555A1)
The patent filed by Ford Motor Co. describes a sensor mirror circuitry that receives a voltage signal corresponding to a measured current and outputs different currents based on predefined ranges of values. The circuitry includes comparators to detect the values falling within specific ranges and outputs currents at predefined magnitudes accordingly.
The patent also details a wheel speed sensing and mirror system that includes a wheel speed sensor, threshold circuitry, selection circuitry, and source circuitry to output currents at different magnitudes based on the measured current falling within predefined ranges. The system utilizes comparators, switches, and resistors to accurately detect and respond to the voltage values corresponding to the measured current, providing a reliable mirror sensing system.
