Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for facilitating control of electric motors. A system includes a brushless direct current (BLDC) electric motor that includes a rotor and windings, where the rotor is configured to rotate with an adjustable angular speed. The system further includes a plurality of switching regulators. Each switching regulator is configured to generate an electrical drive signal based on to a torque control signal, where the angular speed of the rotor is based on the electrical drive signals. The system further includes a commutation logic circuit configured to selectively provide the electrical drive signals of the switching regulators to the windings based on a position of the rotor. To selectively provide the electrical drive signals, the commutation logic circuit may be configured to provide routing control signals provided as six-step commutation signals or motor phase control signals provided as sinusoidal commutation signals. Related systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n determining a plurality of sinusoidal motor phase control signals based on the position of the rotor; and providing the sinusoidal motor phase control signals to the switching regulators, wherein the electrical drive signals of the switching regulators are generated in response to the sinusoidal motor phase control signals.
