Abstract:
A method for controlling a single coil brushless DC motor, the method comprising at least a first EHP sequence which comprises: driving the motor using a driving signal during a torque generating period, to accelerate the motor, such that during a subsequent generator mode period a phase current goes in generator mode; driving the motor during the generator mode period using a generator mode signal, which allows the phase current to be in generator mode; monitoring the phase current during the generator mode period thereby obtaining phase current information; and determining parameters of a next EHP sequence based on the obtained phase current information.

Claim (Index 4):
A method according to  claim 2  wherein the determining step comprises determining a rising edge and/or a falling edge of a driving signal of the next EHP sequence based on the obtained phase current information and wherein the rising edge of the further driving signal is determined directly after the second zero crossing moment of the phase current, or directly after the first zero crossing moment of the phase current or directly after the zero crossing moment of the time derivative of the phase current or in between the first and the second zero crossing moment of the phase current or in between any combination of two of those.
