Abstract

A brushless D.C. motor drive circuit provides full available D.C. bus voltage to the motor during periods of motor speed acceleration and deceleration and modulated D.C. voltage to the motor during periods when no demands are made on the motor to accelerate or decelerate, thus avoiding time-lag problems inherent in the type of conventional brushless D.C. motor drive circuits which employ pulse-width modulators to continuously provide modulated D.C. voltage to the motor.
