  • Publication number: 20190334467
    Abstract: An electronic control circuit for a brushless motor has an input power circuit providing a DC voltage and a microcontroller integrated circuit receiving the DC voltage. The microcontroller integrated circuit provides three-phase control signals according to a space vector control method. A microprocessor connected to the microcontroller integrated circuit executes supervisory control over the electronic control circuit. An inverter circuit receives the three-phase control signals from the microcontroller integrated circuit and provides driving signals to the brushless motor based on the three-phase control signals received from the microcontroller integrated circuit.
