Abstract

Apparatus, methods and articles implement active short circuit (ASC) or diode blocking ASC using a full bridge, alternating between halves (low side, high side) for implementing the ASC via strategic switching of the full bridge. Current is circulated through an inductor, low DC voltage rail with low side switches ON. Current then circulated through the inductor, low DC voltage rail via a diode across an OFF low side switch, with one low side switch ON and one OFF. Current is then passed through the inductor from high side to low side voltage rails via a high and a low side switch in ON states. Current is then circulated through the inductor, high DC voltage rail via a diode across an OFF high side switch, with one high side switch ON and one OFF. Current is the circulated through the inductor, high DC voltage rail with the high side switches ON.
