Abstract
A motor controller a pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuit, a power limit circuit, and an inverter. The PWM circuit is configured to output initial count outputs based on a current command. The power limit circuit includes a peak current detector, a divider, and a dynamic limiter. The power limit circuit is configured to provide updated count outputs based on the initial count outputs, a sensed current, and a power threshold. The inverter is controlled by the updated count outputs and configured to provide output power to a motor. The sensed current is sensed from the output power to the motor.
