ABSTRACT:
A prior art direct back EMF detection method synchronously sampled motor back EMF during PWM “off” time without the need to sense or re-construct the motor neutral in a sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive system. Since this direct back EMF sensing scheme requires a minimum PWM “off” time to sample the back EMF signal, the duty cycle cannot reach 100%. Also in some applications, for example, high inductance motors, the long settling time of a parasitic resonant between the motor inductance and the parasitic capacitance of power devices can cause false zero crossing detection of back EMF. An improved direct back EMF detection scheme samples the motor back EMF synchronously during PWM “on” time at high speed. In the final system the motor back EMF can be detected during PWM “off” time at low speed, and it is detected during PWM “on” time at high speed. With the combination of the prior art and the improved back EMF sensing schemes, the duty cycle can be extended to a 100% duty cycle, and the impact of the parasitic resonant between motor inductance and the power device capacitance can be minimized.
