Zusammenfassung:	A system comprises: an inverter configured to convert DC power from a battery to AC power to drive a motor, wherein the inverter includes: a power switch including a drain terminal, a source terminal, and a gate terminal; and a controller configured to detect a change in current at the source terminal of the power switch using a complex impedance of a metal trace connected to the source terminal of the power switch, and control a gate control signal to the gate terminal based on the detected change in current.
