Abstract

See full text

A controller for a BLDC motor includes a pulse width modulator and a control circuit. The pulse width modulator provides at least one phase control signal for a corresponding phase of the BLDC motor with a pulse width determined by a duty cycle signal. The duty cycle adjustment circuit has an input for receiving the at least one phase control signal, and an output for providing a corresponding modified phase control signal by adjusting widths of pulses of the at least one phase control signal when an average current in said corresponding phase exceeds a threshold.
