Abstract

See full text

A motor drive control circuit for operation in both linear and PWM modes includes a switchably connected compensation network. The compensation network has a capacitor that provides control loop compensation. To avoid transient effects during the settling time upon transitions from one mode to the other, the switch connecting the compensation network in the circuit is closed only during linear operation and not during PWM mode operation. When the switch is open, the capacitor holds a previously attained potential that is reapplied to the circuit when the switch is again closed.
