Reference signals are combined with a chop frequency signal in a pulse
width modulator (PWM) to provide plural inputs to a multi-phase H-bridge
amplifier. Also provided to the bridge amplifier is a high voltage DC
input which is converted by the pulsed inputs to the bridge amplifier to
a variable AC voltage for driving a motor. The AC drive voltage is also
provided to a variable frequency voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) in
a feedback arrangement, with the variable frequency VCO outputs
heterodyned with each of plural outputs of a multi-phase ring oscillator
to provide plural baseband signals having a constant phase relationship
at a high frequency. The baseband signals form the aforementioned
reference signals provided to the PWM in the feedback arrangement with
closed loop control and frequency and phase discrimination using phase
lock loop techniques for synchronous motor control over a range of DC-100
kHz with 0-25 MHz VCOs.
