Abstract: A linear power controller system may be implemented that includes locked-rotor protection circuitry that is primarily assembled using analog circuit components. The locked rotor protection circuitry may be part of a power module in the system. The power module may be a switched power source that includes temperature circuit. A control loop may be established in the system to maintain the voltage across a motor that is driver by the power module. Circuitry for establishing a close loop with a motor may be positioned in a control head in the system or in a power module in the system. Temperature protection circuitry may be integrated into a current source in the power module to provide automatic thermal shutdown of the current source. The linear power module may specifically include analog circuitry that is arranged to establish a control loop with the motor.

Abstract: An electronic controller module including a heat-resistant material to substantially surround and physically protect the controller, at least one electrically-conductive member to provide input or output of at least one electrical signal through the material to the controller, and a heat-resistant lid including a heat sink configured and dimensioned to dissipate a sufficient amount of heat to inhibit or avoid damage to the electronic controller, wherein the material and the lid are operatively associated to completely surround the controller. These modules are particularly suitable for use in automotive applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for linear speed control for electric direct current motors, in which a digital to analog converter means is used for converting an 8-bit digital signal to an analog voltage for setting voltage across a motor, a digital state machine means is used for converting the duty cycle of an input signal for output to the digital to analog converter means, and a closed loop feedback means is used for monitoring and setting the voltage across the motor. An over-current sense circuit can be used for monitoring the current across or passing through the electric motor. An over/under voltage sense circuit can be used for monitoring voltage of the electric motor. The resulting 8-bit digital control signal is converted to an analog voltage for the electric motor.
