The light source is connected to form a first voltage divider with the first resistor. The phototransistor is connected to form a second voltage divider with the second resistor. The optocoupler transitions an output of the second voltage divider between first and second levels. Magnitudes of the first and second levels are greater than zero. The reference circuit is configured to output a reference voltage. The comparator includes a first input and a second input. The first input receives an output of the first voltage divider. The second input receives the reference voltage. An output of the comparator transitions between a third level and a fourth level based on a comparison between the output of the first voltage divider and the reference voltage.

    Abstract: A current control module generates a voltage request based on a d-axis current (Idr) demand. A switching control module controls a motor based on the voltage request and generates an out-of-volts (OOV) signal based on a comparison of the voltage request and an available voltage. An Idr injection module generates the Idr demand based on a direct current (DC) bus voltage, a rotational speed, and a demanded torque and selectively applies a first adjustment to the Idr demand. The Idr injection module identifies whether an improvement resulted from the first adjustment, wherein the improvement is identified based on at least one of (i) a measured current of the motor and (ii) the OOV signal. The Idr injection module selectively applies a second adjustment to the Idr demand based on whether the improvement is identified.

    Abstract: A system includes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) module, a subtraction module, an error reducing module, and a summing module. The PWM module controls switching of an inverter that powers a motor. The PWM module controls the switching based on a first angle in a first mode and a second angle in a second mode. The subtraction module determines a difference between the first and second angles. The error reducing module (i) stores the difference when a transition from the first mode to the second mode is commanded and (ii) decreases a magnitude of the stored difference to zero. The summing module calculates a sum of the stored difference and the second angle. The PWM module controls the switching based on the sum in the second mode.

The pulse-width modulation module generates three duty cycle values based on three voltage requests, respectively. A plurality of solid-state switches control three phases of the motor in response to the three duty cycle values, respectively. The pulse skip determination module generates a pulse skip signal. The duty cycle adjustment module selectively prevents the plurality of solid-state switches from switching during intervals specified by the pulse skip signal.
