The microcomputer control of a brushless motor without a shaft position sensor is studied. A method which permits the determination of the permanent magnet rotor position by the back electromotive force (EMF) induced in the stator windings and the starting technique which uses the motor as a synchronous motor at standstill are explained. The motor voltage is chopped by commutator transistors to change the motor speed. The control system consists of a 4-b single-chip microcomputer and two quad-comparators.
IIZUKA et al. (1985) studied this question.
