    摘要: A motor control method adapted for use in the startup process of a sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor includes the following steps. A phase voltage signal and a driving voltage signal are generated according to the startup current signal with a first predetermined value and a phase current signal. A driving current signal is generated according to the driving voltage signal to drive the BLDC to rotate. The driving current signal is sensed to generate the corresponding phase current signal. The load state of the shaft end of the BLDC is determined according to the phase voltage signal with the change of the corresponding phase current signal and the startup current signal. The magnitude of the startup current signal is adaptively adjusted according to the load state of the shaft end and/or according to the electric rotation angular velocity and the torque demand of the BLDC motor.

    摘要: A heating device includes a first capacitor, a first switch, a second switch, a second capacitor, a third capacitor, a coil and a controller. The first and second switch are coupled in series at a first node, and are coupled with the first capacitor in parallel. The second capacitor is coupled to the first switch. The third capacitor is coupled to the second switch, and is coupled to the second capacitor at a second node. The coil is coupled between the first and the second node. The controller outputs a first and a second control signal to the first switch and the second switch, respectively. After the heating device received a voltage and a starting command, the controller outputs the first and the second control signal to turn on or off the first and the second switch respectively. The duty cycle of the first signal is lower than 50%.

    摘要: An induction cooker includes a rectifying device, a first energy-storage device, a switch device, a second energy-storage device, a heating device and a control device. The capacitance of the second energy-storage device is greater than the capacitance of the first energy-storage device. When the induction cooker is just starting, the control device controls the switch device to be turned off, such that the heating device generates an output current according to an energy of the first energy-storage device. The control device determines whether a pot is on the heating device according to a change state of the output current. When the pot is on the heating device, the control device controls the switch device to be turned on, such that the first and second energy-storage devices are coupled, and the heating device heats the pot according to energies of the first and second energy-storage devices.
