    摘要: A control system operates with a PWM speed regulation of a sensorless BLDC motor with a plurality of windings. A hybrid method is present in the invention utilizing BEMF induced in stator windings to indicate the commutation instant and a falling edge detection method to override PWM chopping and commutation noises. The present invention achieves reliable sensorless rotor position detection with relative concise and low cost circuit as well as little software expense. The control device of the present invention includes a comparator for generating the BEMF zero crossing points (ZCP), and means for deriving rotor position information by detecting the falling edge (or rising edge for low-side chopping case) of the generated ZCPs.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for detecting a current direction in a PWM converter or an inverter having one or more upper and lower arms, each of which consists of a switching device with an anti-parallel diode. The voltage across the switching device presents a different value and a polarity that depend on the direction of the current flowing through the switching device, wherein the current direction is acquired by sampling this voltage in the period of the trigger signal being on. In a case of small current, this sampled voltage value is relatively large to the flowing current magnitude and is easy to be distinguished. Furthermore, this invention presents a method for obtaining the phase angle between the load current and the output voltage, and judging whether the output current is zero or includes DC component. As a result, this method presents high precision.

    摘要: A method for starting-up a motor having multiple stator windings and a rotor contains first providing current to two of the windings to excite a predefined phase and allowing one of the windings floating, Then, the back electromotive force (BEMF) induced in the floating winding is monitored. If a zero crossing of BEMF occurs in the floating winding within the maximum startup time, then it commutates to the next phase, which is adjacent to the first initial phase in the predetermined sequence of excitation phases. If no zero crossing of BEMF occurs in the floating winding within the maximum startup time, then it commutates to the next phase, which is functionally shifted by two phase-intervals from the predefined phase.
