Abstract:
A driving circuit for an electric motor including multiple windings includes a sensing circuit to sense motor winding currents. A motor rotation angle signal is generated from the sensed currents and motor control voltages are generated as a function of the motor rotation angle signal. The motor windings are driven with motor drive voltages obtained by injecting into the motor control voltages injection pulses. The sensed currents include both torque components and injection components. The motor rotation angle signal is generated as a function of the injection components of the sensed currents.
