Abstract

A method for automatic control switching for driving a sensorless motor of a power tool, the method including generating, using a signal generator, a high-frequency injection signal. The method includes coupling, using a coupling circuit, the high-frequency injection signal to an injection coil of the sensorless motor. The method includes decoupling, using a de-coupling circuit, a response to the high-frequency injection signal from a phase coil of the sensorless motor. The method includes determine a sensorless motor condition based upon the response of the injection coil to the high-frequency injection signal. The method includes driving, using a controller of the power tool, the sensorless motor based upon the sensorless motor condition.
