Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure, an integrated circuit for determining an angular position of an electric motor having a rotatable shaft and a resolver is provided. In some embodiments, the integrated circuit comprises (i) an angle sampling module adapted to receive a signal from the resolver and to repeatedly determine, at an angle sampling rate, the angular position of the rotatable shaft using the signal from the resolver, (ii) an interpolation module to determine an interpolated value of the angular position of the rotatable shaft at each cycle of a motor control loop rate, and (iii) a motor control module adapted to provide a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to the motor. The PWM signal is based at least in part on the determined interpolated value of the angular position of the rotatable shaft determined at each cycle of the motor control loop rate.

Abstract: A resolver decoder circuit includes: a first filter circuit configured to calculate a first weighted sum of a first digital signal over a pre-determined period of time, where the first digital signal includes first digital samples of a first analog signal from a sine winding of a resolver; a second filter circuit configured to calculate a second weighted sum of a second digital signal over the pre-determined period of time, where the second digital signal includes second digital samples of a second analog signal from a cosine winding of the resolver, where the first and the second analog signals are configured to be induced by a sine signal applied to an input winding of the resolver; and a rectifier configured to generate a first output and a second output by adjusting a first sign of the first weighted sum and adjusting a second sign of the second weighted sum, respectively.
