Abstract

See full text

A high-efficiency motor control system and method is presented for controlling an electric motor. The system can feature a multi-phase inverter having a logic control device and associated control circuity, a plurality of floating charge pumps and pump circuitry, a multi-phase bridge having a plurality of power switching devices and a bootstrap capacitor circuit having a floating ground. The floating charge pumps feature grounds electrically coupled to motor phase leads. The bootstrap circuit can feature a floating ground, with a floating voltage being carried across the bootstrap circuit and delivered to the switching devices to produce an indefinite on-time for the switching devices for switching the high-side of a power supply to a load.
