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 is controlled to ON/OFF by 3.3kHz 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 Fig. 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.
