    摘要: A method is provided for driving a load in a pulse width modulation (PWM) mode as a function of numeric command values having a predetermined number of N-bits. The method includes the step of incrementing by more than a unit the number of bits on which a selected command value is mapped, wherein a unit equals N-bits plus a plurality of additional bits. The N most significant bits of the selected command value are converted. The plurality of additional bits are decoded by generating a corresponding plurality of intermediate levels of variation in the duty cycle. Each intermediate level has a duration of half a clock period and produces a plurality of signals out of phase among each other by half a clock period. A driving PWM signal is generated by multiplexing the signals out of phase among each other by half a clock period, and carrying out logic combinations of these signals as a function of a most significant bit of the selected command value and as a function of the plurality of additional bits.

The gate electrodes of the first and second transistors are connected together to a first control terminal and the gate electrode of the third transistor is connected to a second control terminal of the electronic switch. The first and third transistors are formed in a first p-well and the second transistor is formed in a second p-well, insulated from the first. A circuit branch which is identical, but provided by p-channel MOS transistors is also provided between the input and output terminals. The electronic switch is usable in circuit applications with transient voltages which may go beyond the supply voltage of the integrated circuit in a positive or negative direction.

    摘要: A method of driving an electrical load having a complex electrical impedance, such as a voice-coil motor controlling the position of a read/write head in a data storage disk drive system, comprises providing a voltage-mode driver generating drive signals for the electrical load in response to drive commands. Compensated commands for the voltage-mode driver are generated filtering the drive commands, compensating for a phase shift between electrical quantities delivered to the electrical load. The voltage-mode drive thus emulates a conventional, but more expensive, current-mode drive. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises estimating characteristic parameters of the electrical load during the operation, and adapting the filtering to the estimated characteristic parameters. The estimation comprises implementing a Kalman filtering algorithm, particularly an extended Kalman filtering.

The integrated driving system includes a plurality of output pins corresponding to the output nodes of as many half-bridge stages that are driven in pairs respectively by a direct or inverted driving signal at the same power level without overloading the output metal lines of the integrated device. Each supply terminal of the brushless motor is connected to one of the plurality of output pins of the integrated system relative to a first driving phase signal and to another output pin relative to a different driving phase signal. The drive circuit is internally configured through a plurality of integrated signal path selectors set in one or the other position depending upon the intended use of the integrated device. Further, the paths of the driving phase signals directed toward the inputs of the plurality of half-bridges driven in pairs are coherently crossed to the external connecting scheme of the windings of the motor.
