Patent number: 12379704Abstract: A controller for controlling an electric motor module equipped with incremental encoder and operation method thereof are provided. The controller includes a quadruple frequency circuit, a driver circuit, a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a multi-phase control circuit. The multi-phase control circuit can perform multi-phase control with aid of the NVM, for example: reading an offset counter value from the NVM; executing an initial angle estimation procedure, generating an initial counter value according to an estimated initial angle and the offset counter value, and starting utilizing the driver circuit to directly control the electric motor to start with the estimated initial angle and utilizing a counter to perform counting operations; calculating a counter value error and clear the current counter value to be zero; and performing compensation corresponding to a predetermined compensation times count according to the counter value error, respectively, to control the rotor to reach a target angle.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2023Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: ARTERY TECHNOLOGY COMPANYInventors: Ming-Tsan Lin, Yi-Shiang Ouyang, Zi-Xuan Huang
