ABSTRACT:
A PWM motor drive control circuit for an electric power steering system, comprising: a bridge circuit having four arms each defined by a transistor; a main control unit for producing a continual direction control signal and a torque control signal of a variable duty ratio to activate the electric motor in a desired direction at a desired torque according to a steering command signal supplied thereto; a sub control unit for producing a second direction control signal according to the steering command signal; and a gate drive control circuit for transmitting the first direction control signal and the torque control signal to the transistors only when the first direction control signal produced by the primary control unit coincides with the second direction control signal produced by the sub control unit. Thereby, the reliability of an electric motor powered steering system can be improved with a simple circuit structure even when the torque control signal consists of an extremely high frequency variable duty ratio signal.
