Abstract

An method for driving a motor is provided. A plurality of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals are generated from a commanded voltage signal and a commanded angle signal, and these PWM signal are used to drive a motor (which has a plurality of phases). Currents through the phases of the motor are measured, and a Park transformation is performed on the measured currents to determine a projection current measurement. Based at least in part on the projection current measurement, the adjusting the commanded voltage signal and the commanded angle signal can be adjusted.
