Intelligent power module switches power supply current according to position of the compressor motor
rotor.
The switching order is as shown in Fig. 4-2.
Upper arm
transistor
Lower arm
transistor
Upper arm transistor is controlled to ON/OFF by 4.8kHz chopper signal. Rotation speed of the compressor
is proportional to duty ratio (ON time/ ON time + OFF time) of this chopper signal.
Time T in Fig. 4-2 shows the switching period, and relation with rotation speed (N) of the compressor is
shown by formula below;
Fig. 4-3 shows voltage waveform at each point shown in Figs. 4-1 and 4-4. First half of upper arm is
chopper, second half is ON, and first half of lower arm is chopper, second half is ON.

When power is supplied U + ¡ V - , because of that U + is chopped, current flows as shown below;
(1) When U + transistor is ON: U + transistor ¡ U coil ¡ V coil ¡ V - transistor ¡ DC current detection
resistor ¡ Point B (Fig. 4-1)
(2) When U + transistor is OFF: (by inductance of motor coil) U coil ¡ V coil ¡ V - transistor ¡
U - diode ¡ Point A (Fig. 4-4)
At point E: U + is ON, V - is ON (circuit in Fig. 4-1)
At point F: U + is chopped (OFF), V - is ON (circuit in Fig. 4-4)
