Abstract
Disclosed embodiments include an apparatus for closed loop control of a linear resonant actuator comprising a motor drive circuit configured to provide a motor drive signal, a current and voltage sensing circuit coupled to the output terminal of the motor drive circuit and across the motor, and having current sense and a voltage sense outputs. A resonant frequency and back emf extraction circuit receives the current sense and voltage sense outputs, and outputs a resonant frequency signal output and a measured back emf signal output. An actuator model circuit has inputs coupled to the output of the motor drive circuit, the resonant frequency signal output, and a mechanical system quality factor signal generated by an adaptation circuit having an input coupled to the error summing circuit output. The error summing circuit has inputs coupled to the output of the actuator model and the measured back emf signal.
