The rotor position is stabilized by
applying PWM signals to only two
motor phases
The two fast (faster then the rotor
can move) commutations are
applied to create an angular
difference of the stator magnetic
field and rotor magnetic field.
The back-EMF feedback is tested.
When the back-EMF zero crossing
is recognized the time of new
commutation is evaluated. Until at
least two successive back-EMF
zero crossings are received the
exact commutation time can not be
calculated. Therefore, the
commutation is done in advance in
order to assure that successive
back-EMF zero crossing events
would not be missed.
After several back-EMF zero
crossing events the exact
commutation time is calculated. The
commutation process is adjusted.
Motor is running with regular
back-EMF feedback.
