| 20090218972 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING REVERSE CURRENT, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DRIVING MOTOR - A reverse current detection apparatus determines whether an electrical conduction control to a motor coil of a motor is in a predetermined state based on a timing signal representing a timing at which to conduct a source current or a sink current through the motor coil and a control signal for a half bridge in a power stage, and compares the output voltage of the power stage with a threshold value, so as to detect the presence/absence of a reverse flow of a phase current based on these results. A motor driving apparatus for driving a motor under a PWM control includes a rectification switching section for switching a rectification scheme from one to another based on the reverse current detection apparatus and a detection result thereof. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090243526 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING BACK ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE PHASE AND DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING EXCITATION - In a back electromotive force phase detecting device, a timing generating unit generates a timing signal indicating a start timing, an intermediate timing and an end timing of a 180-degree electrical angle period in a detection target phase, from an excitation pulse signal. A difference calculating unit receives the timing signal, and calculates a difference between a total PWM control period of the detection target phase during a first-half 90-degree period, and a total PWM control period of the detection target phase during a second-half 90-degree period. In an excitation control device, a control unit changes the capability of driving a motor based on an output of the back electromotive force phase detecting device. | 10-01-2009 |
