3.2.4.1 Stator Winding Equations

The BLDC motor is usually very symmetrical. All phase resistances,
phase and mutual inductances, flux-linkages can be thought of as equal
to, or as a function of the position

θ

with a 120° displacement.

The electrical BLDC motor model then consists of a set of the following
stator voltage equations

(EQ 3-1.)

The task of this section is to explain the background of the back-EMF
sensing and to demonstrate how the zero crossing events can be
detected. Parasitic effects that negatively influence the back-EMF
detection are discussed and their nature analyzed.

3.2.4.2 Indirect Back EMF Sensing

Let us assume a usual situation, where the BLDC motor is driven in
six-step commutation mode using PWM technique, where both top and
bottom switches in the diagonal are controlled using the same signal (so
called “hard switching PWM” technique). The motor phases A and B are
powered, and phase C is free, having no current. So the phase C can be
used to sense the back-EMF voltage. This is described by the following
conditions:
