摘要:
A method of preventing concurrent or quasi-concurrent commutations of a pair of phase shift modulation (PSM) drive signals of an output bridge stage driving an electrical load includes establishing a threshold level of a programmed current level to be transmitted though the electrical load. The method also includes, if the programmed current level is lower than the threshold level, enhancing a time offset between commutation edges of the pair of PSM drive signals by a minimum time.

A management apparatus is described of a rotating motor and a load during power loss; the apparatus comprises a first switching circuit coupled with the rotating motor and a controller of said first switching circuit. The controller is configured to drive the first switching circuit so as to convert a back-electromotive force voltage developed in the rotating motor into a power supply voltage for the load. The first switching circuit is driven in accordance with a first duty cycle. The apparatus comprises a second switching circuit coupled with the load and driven in accordance with a second duty cycle. The controller is configured to vary said first and said second duty cycles to keep the power supply voltage for the load above or equal to a threshold voltage.

摘要:
The definition of conversion of a digital value in a PWM signal using an N-bit up/down counter is improved by increasing the dimension of the input data to N+2 bits. This is done using the two Lsb's of the N+2 input data for selecting one among three intermediate levels between two consecutive values of an N-bit dynamic, according to a predefined table of combinations. The converter may still use an N-bit comparator. The system is particularly useful in driving a multi-phase brushless DC motor with each phase-winding singularly driven through a full-bridge output stage.

A circuit and method for driving a brushless sensorless direct current (DC) motor (2), using the steps of: at the beginning of each phase, driving the motor in PWM mode; monitoring the duration (Tc) between successive zero-crossings of the back electromotive force (BEMF), and accordingly predicting the next zero-crossing; and before the next predicted zero-crossing, switching to a linear driving mode only until the actual zero-crossing of the BEMF.
摘要:
A method for controlling in an open-loop voltage mode a DC motor driven through a power amplifier includes generating a control voltage for the DC motor to be input to the power amplifier based upon a difference between an external command and a correction signal, and amplifying the control voltage for generating a replica of an output of the power amplifier. A model of the DC motor is defined based upon electrical parameters of the DC motor. The method further includes estimating current flowing in the DC motor based upon the replica of the output of the power amplifier and the model of the DC motor, and generating the correction signal proportional to the estimated current.

The device is for driving and controlling a rotation motor and a voice coil motor for a hard disk drive system that includes a disk and an arm carrying a read/write head to be positioned with respect thereto. A duty-cycle control loop including a current sensing circuit is connected to the voice coil motor, and an arm position control loop including a speed detection circuit is also connected to the voice coil motor. The duty-cycle control loop and the arm position control loop are digitally implemented by a DSP as a function of digital data representing a first analog signal generated by the current sensing circuit representative of current conducting in a winding of the voice coil motor, and a second analog signal generated by the speed detection circuit representative of an instant speed of the voice coil motor.
