Abstract
A system and method for a decay lock loop for time varying current regulation in electric motors determines if a predetermined electrical current regulation level for an electric motor has been obtained within a tuning control time window. A coarse control loop increases or decreases a fast current decay, in response to a determination that the predetermined electrical current regulation level has not been obtained within the tuning control time window, until the predetermined electrical current regulation level falls within the tuning control time window. A fine control loop increments or decrements an amount of fast current decay during a total decay time, in response to a determination that the predetermined electrical current regulation level has been obtained within the tuning control time window, until a predetermined timing of the predetermined electrical current regulation level has been obtained.
