ABSTRACT
A new converter topology is proposed for driving a permanent magnet brushless dc
(BLDC) motor with unipolar currents. It is based on a front-end single-ended primary inductance
converter (SEPIC) and a switch in series with each phase. All the switches are groundreferenced, which simplifies their gate drives. The available input voltage can be boosted for
better current regulation, which is an advantage for low voltage applications. For operation with
an ac supply, the SEPIC converter is designed to operate in the discontinuous conduction mode.
In this operation mode, it approximates a voltage follower and the line current follows the line
voltage waveform to a certain extent. The reduction in low-order harmonics and improved power
factor is achieved without the use of any voltage or current sensors. The simplicity and reduced
parts count of the proposed topology make it an attractive low-cost choice for many variable
speed drive applications..
