ABSTRACT:
A control circuit (10) for controlling the residual or tail current decay in a single phase or polyphase SRM winding when a phase is switched from active to inactive. A Hall-effect type sensor (30) senses rotor position of the SRM. Current flows through a winding (W) of the motor when the motor phase winding is active; and, current flow into the winding decays to zero when the phase becomes inactive. Semiconductor switches (22) direct current flow into the winding when the phase is active and then redirect residual energy in the winding between an energy recovery circuit and an energy dissipation circuit when the phase becomes inactive. A PWM signal generator (44) provides PWM operating signals to the switches to control current flow first into the winding and then between the recovery and dissipation circuits. A control module (42), or microprocessor (52) with a PWM output, is responsive to rotor position information for controlling operation of the PWM signal generator. The signal generator provides PWM signals having one set of signal characteristics when there is current flow to the winding and a different set of characteristics when there is not. This produces alternate intervals of zero voltage and forced commutation residual current decay while the phase is inactive. During the decay interval, both the PWM frequency and pulse duty cycle are variable to produce a current decay scheme which eliminates ringing and motor noise.
