Motor drive apparatus and motor driving method capable of simply reducing rotating speed in PWM mode
Patent number: 6008619Abstract: A drive current and a regenerative current are alternately applied to a motor during a PWM (pulse width modulation) time period. The regenerative current is produced by an electromagnetic induction of an armature and flows in the opposite direction as the drive current. Therefore, a rotating speed of the motor is reduced, so that a speed-reduction following characteristic for the motor is improved. By varying the duty factor, the lengths of time during which the drive current and the regenerative current are flowing can be controlled. Thus, the speed of the motor can be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1998Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Makoto Murase, Kazunari Mizuguchi, Toshio Tsubota, Tatsuo Nishizawa -
