Abstract: An electric vehicle accessory motor drive power supply system (40) that utilizes a single power supply design to provide efficient variable speed motor control to both brushless and brush-type DC motors (42,44). The power supply system includes at least one of each type of motor along with a first DC-DC converter (46) that provides operating power to the brushless motor (42) and a second DC-DC converter (48) that provides operating power to the brush-type motor (44). Both converters (46,48) have a power input (52) connected to the electric vehicle's high voltage bus (50) and each includes a data input (54) for receiving a speed control signal (SC) indicative of desired motor speed, as well as an output (56) for providing a motor drive signal to its associated DC motor (42,44).

Abstract: Linear signal reconstruction systems and methods that use mathematical relationships that exist between discrete time signals, digital to analog conversion characteristics and digital signal processing to produce a highly accurate, low noise, arbitrary analog signal from a discrete digital representation. This analog signal is produced by connecting discrete digital voltages through the use of a segmented straight line curve fit. This approach significantly reduces out of band harmonics that are normally associated with the stair-step approach while improving the output signal amplitude and phase accuracy. More specifically, the present system and method provides for reconstructing original analog signals from a digitized representation thereof. Digitized signals corresponding to the original analog signals are differentiated and then D to A converted into differentiated analog signals.
