摘要： A motor controller and an electric power steering system including the motor controller are provided. The motor controller has a microcomputer. When the on time of one of the lower potential-side FETs corresponding to the respective phases in a drive circuit becomes shorter than the detection time for detecting the phase current value, the microcomputer estimates the phase current value of the electric current undetectable phase based on the phase current values of the two phases other than the electric current undetectable phase corresponding to the relevant FET (blind estimation). When electric current detection is performed in the blind estimation, motor control signals are output, by which the switching state of the switching arm of the electric current undetectable phase is maintained and the power loss caused by the switching operation of the FETs in the two phases other than the electric current undetectable phase is compensated for.

摘要： A motor-current square value calculation section 45 calculates, as a motor-current square value, the sum of respective square values of two phase currents converted from three phase currents flowing through an electric motor. A temperature estimation calculation section 44 performs low-pass filtering for the motor-current square value, and calculates temperature increases of the mass portion and coils on the basis of the filtered motor-current square value. In the low-pass filtering, filtering calculation is performed in a manner which changes depending on rotational speed RV of the electric motor; i.e., whether the electric motor is in a rotating state or in a stopped state. The temperature increase of the mass portion is added to ambient temperature of the electric motor to thereby estimate temperature of the mass portion, and the temperature increase of the coils is added to the estimated temperature of the mass portion to thereby estimate temperature of the coils. Accordingly, the coil temperature of the electric motor can be accurately detected, and current flowing through the electric motor is properly controlled in accordance with the detected temperature.

摘要： The object of the present invention is to provide steering responsiveness and linear steering perception when the steering wheel is restored, even when there is excessive, sudden steering beyond a predetermined tolerance (−θE≦θ≦θE). If a steering angle θ suddenly enters a “play” range at the left and right ends of the θ−Xn plane, the steering direction (turning direction/restoring direction) of the steering wheel can lead to a localized change in the gear ratio (∂Xn/∂θ). FIG. 3 is a graph showing an example of this type of hysteresis loop. When a driver tries to get out of the “play” range by turning the steering wheel in the restoring direction, a positive value can be achieved for the localized gear ratio based on the above hysteresis loop even in the “play” range. Thus, based on this arrangement, if the steering angle θ exceeds the tolerance range, the localized gear ratio can be prevented from being continuously 0 when the steering wheel is immediately turned in the restoring direction.
