Abstract:
One example is a system for controlling a motor during startup. The system includes measurement logic, pattern detection logic, and mode logic. The measurement logic monitors a back-electromotive force (BEMF) signal representing a BEMF of an electric motor and the pattern detection logic monitors this signal to detect instances of the monitored BEMF signal exhibiting a predetermined pattern. The mode logic enables control of the electric motor according to a plurality of modes of control. In some examples, the mode logic initially employs a first mode of control and switches from the first mode of control to a second mode of control in response to the pattern detection logic detecting that a BEMF signal exhibits the predetermined pattern over a plurality of commutation states.

Claim (Index 2):
A system comprising:\n measurement logic to measure a back-electromotive force (BEMF) signal representing a BEMF of an electric motor; pattern detection logic to detect instances of the measured BEMF signal exhibiting a predetermined pattern; and mode logic to enable control of the electric motor according to a plurality of modes of control, the mode logic initially employing a first mode of control and switching from the first mode of control to a second mode of control in response to the pattern detection logic detecting that the measured BEMF signal exhibits the predetermined pattern over a plurality of commutation states, wherein the pattern detection logic further comprises: crossing detection logic to identify each instance of the predetermined pattern based on the BEMF signal crossing a predetermined signal value during a commutation state of the electric motor, wherein the mode logic maintains the first mode of control until detecting that the predetermined pattern occurs in a plurality of consecutive commutation states, and in response to detecting that the predetermined pattern occurs in the plurality of consecutive commutation states, the mode logic of the system switching from the first mode of control to the second mode of control.
