Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a brushless motor, in particular to a controller for the brushless motor and a control method for the brushless motor. Background technique

[0002] As the world continues to focus on energy-saving issues, brushless direct current (DC) motors are increasingly used in various occasions, such as in modern home appliances. Compared with traditional brushed motors, brushless DC motors have the advantages of low noise, high energy efficiency and durability.

[0003] A brushless DC motor is usually controlled in different phases by a motor controller connected to the motor windings. Since there is no brush and commutator structure in the brushless DC motor, the motor controller generates alternate control pulse control to maintain the motor rotation. A typical form of a control signal for a brushless motor is a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal. Control signals generally come in two forms to drive a BLDC motor, square wave drive...
