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 15):
The method of  claim 14 , further comprising:\n passing a current between the first and second switching regulators through the at least one of the windings, wherein the current is based on the first and second electrical drive signals, and wherein the rotating is in response to the current, wherein:\n a first switch of the routing circuit is connected to the first switching regulator and the at least one of the windings; \n a second switch of the routing circuit is connected to the second switching regulator and the at least one of the windings; and \n the passing comprising collectively passing, by the first and second switches, the current between the first and second variable generator circuits through the at least one winding in response to the routing control signals.
