Abstract
A motor control actuator that drives a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with sensorless Field Oriented Control includes a sampling circuit that generates a measurement signal by measuring a back electro motive force (BEMF) of the PMSM, while the PMSM rotates; a PLL that receives the measurement signal and extracts an amplitude and an angle of the BEMF from the measurement signal; and a motor controller that generates a first set of two phase alternating current (AC) voltage components based on an estimated rotor angle, generates a second set of two phase AC voltage components based on the amplitude and the angle, and generates control signals for driving the PMSM based on the first set of two phase AC voltage components. The motor controller performs a catch spin sequence for restarting the PMSM while rotating, the catch spin sequence includes a synchronizing period followed by a closed loop control period.
