Abstract
A control operates a permanent magnet brushless DC motor utilizing a phase advance signal to control motor torque. Input signals to the motor comprise a phase advance command signal and rotor position signals. The control provides switching signals to drive an inverter switch circuit to energize the motor. A start circuit is responsive to an analog rotor position signal and develops switching signals according to a preselected pattern stored in a memory. A run circuit compares a periodic sawtooth signal representing motor speed and a maximum desired phase advance, to a phase advance command signal to develop switching signals. The control switches from the start circuit to the run circuit at a preselected speed.
