Abstract: Disclosed is a ripple counter with a dynamic bandpass filter for a DC motor. The ripple counter includes a current sense amplifier configured to provide an analog voltage responsive to an inline current in rotor windings of the DC motor. The ripple counter also includes an analog-to-digital converter configured to provide a digital signal responsive to the analog voltage. The ripple counter also includes a digital filter configured to receive the digital signal and a clock signal and configured to vary a frequency response to provide a filtered ripple current. The ripple counter also includes a digital comparator circuit configured to receive the filtered ripple current and to provide a pulsed output. The ripple counter also includes a clock generator configured to detect the frequency of the pulsed output and to provide the clock signal responsive to the detected frequency.

Abstract: The high efficiency motor employing the principle of three phase induction motor and permanent magnet synchronous motor includes a stator assembly and a rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotor shaft, a rotor stack assembly, a rotor cover and end ring. The rotor stack assembly includes a stamping stack, a conductor bar and a magnet. The stamping stack has dedicated slots for the conductor bar and the magnet. The rotor cover is fitted on the rotor stack, wherein both axial ends of the rotor cover are closed by end rings.

Abstract: A control circuit includes a first high-side transistor coupled between a voltage supply terminal and the first terminal of a DC motor and a second high-side transistor coupled between the voltage supply terminal and the second terminal of the DC motor. The control circuit includes a first low-side transistor coupled between a ground terminal and the first terminal of the DC motor and a second low-side transistor coupled between the ground terminal and the second terminal of the DC motor. The control circuit includes a first pull-up resistor coupled between the voltage supply terminal and a gate terminal of the first low-side transistor and a second pull-up resistor coupled between the voltage supply terminal and a gate terminal of the second low-side transistor. The pull-up resistors apply bias currents to turn ON the first and second low-side transistors to provide a conductive path to brake the DC motor.
