    Abstract: A motor drive system control provides global closed loop feedback to cooperatively operate system components to adaptively reduce noise and provide noise cancellation feedback. An active EMI filter reduces differential and common mode noise on an input and provides a noise level indication to a system controller. Power switches in both a power converter and power inverter are cooperatively controlled with dynamic dv/dt control to reduce switching noise according to a profile specified by the controller. The dv/dt control is provided as an analog signal to a high voltage IC and codified as a pulse width for a level shifting circuit supplying control signals to the high voltage gate drive. A noise extraction circuit and technique obtain fast noise sampling to permit noise cancellation and adaptive noise reduction.

    Abstract: A circuit and method for permitting uninterrupted operation of a motor, even in the event of an over temperature condition, by dynamically controlling the motor torque based on the temperature of switching devices in the motor controller circuit. The circuit limits the torque current to either a fixed limit value if the temperature of the switching devices (or a current feedback signal for estimating the temperature of the switching devices) is below a predetermined value, or to a variable limit value which is inversely proportional to the temperature signal if the temperature of the switching devices (or the current feedback signal) exceeds the predetermined value. Accordingly, in the event of an over temperature condition, the motor continues to operate, but at a reduced torque, allowing the switching devices to cool.
