摘要:
A control unit (1) according to the invention for controlling a brushless motor (5) includes position detection means (10) for generating a signal (S1) which is indicative of the position of the motor (5). The control unit (1) further includes supply means (20a, 20b, 20c) for energizing two or more coils (5a, 5b, 5c) of the motor (5) and output terminals (30a, 30b, 30c) for electrically coupling the coils (5a, 5b, 5c) to the supply means (20a, 20b, 20c). The position detection means (10) include polarity detection means (T3, D3, T4, D4, A1) for generating a polarity signal (S1) which is a measure of the direction of the current (Ia) through at least one of the coils (5a). The control unit (1) in accordance with the invention is particularly suitable for use in a device for reading and/or writing an information carrier (6).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of energizing a polyphase motor by means of a plurality of coils (E1, E2, E3), each coil intended to be excited by means of a control signal (I1, I2, I3). The method in accordance with the invention comprises the following steps: identifying the control signal having the largest absolute value, and connecting the corresponding coil to a reference-potential terminal (VCC or GND). The invention enables the losses caused by switching operations in the power stages energizing the coils to be reduced, and to increase the efficiency of the power supply device of the motor.
