  • Patent number: 11838023
    Abstract: A motor control system includes a variable voltage supply in signal communication with a direct current (DC) motor. The DC motor includes a rotor induced to rotate in response to a drive current generated by a variable supply voltage delivered by the voltage supply. The rotation of the rotor generates a mechanical force that drives a component. A ripple count circuit is configured to filter the drive current based on a rotational speed (?) of the rotor, and to generate a pulsed output signal indicative of the rotational speed (?) of the rotor and a rotational position (?) of the rotor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11705836
    Abstract: A motor control system includes a variable voltage supply in signal communication with a direct current (DC) motor. The DC motor includes a rotor induced to rotate in response to a drive current generated by a variable supply voltage delivered by the voltage supply. The rotation of the rotor 103 generates a mechanical force that drives a component. A ripple count circuit 104 is configured to filter the drive current based on a rotational speed (?) of the rotor 103 to generate a filtered drive current signal, and to generate a varying threshold based on the filtered drive current signal. Based on a comparison between the filtered drive current signal and the varying threshold, the ripple count circuit 104 generates a pulsed output signal indicative of the rotational speed (?) of the rotor and a rotational position (?) of the rotor.
