    Abstract: A system includes a timer to determine a time interval between successive commutation state changes of a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. A speed calculator computes a speed of the BLDC motor based on the time interval. A threshold calculator determines a threshold based on the computed speed, the threshold specifying a calculation of back electromotive force (BEMF) and mutual inductance of the BLDC motor at a next state change of the BLDC motor. A state change trigger commands the next state change based on a measured voltage associated with a floating phase of the BLDC motor relative to the threshold.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) resolution for digitally controlled motor control applications are described. For example, in some embodiments, a method may include receiving a clock signal having a given period; identifying a target duty cycle; calculating a comparison point based upon the given period and the target duty cycle; generating a PWM signal based upon the clock signal using the comparison point; and varying the comparison point to increase a resolution of an effective duty cycle of the PWM signal.

    Abstract: A method includes: outputting high side driver gate signals to a plurality of high side driver devices and outputting low side driver gate signals to a plurality of low side driver devices configured to control current supplied to a motor having coils coupled to receive the current at a plurality of phase nodes; at a time approximately prior to an expected zero crossing of a voltage at a selected one of the plurality of phase nodes, disabling the high side driver gate signal and the low side driver gate signal; measuring a back electromotive force (BEMF) voltage and observing a zero crossing time; estimating a next zero crossing time; prior to the next zero crossing time, disabling the high side driver gate signal and the low side driver gate signal and observing the selected one of the phase nodes to form a first sample; and following the next zero crossing time, observing a second voltage at the selected one of the phase nodes to form a second sample.
