1. A motor controller comprising:
an H bridge circuit having switching elements, fly-wheel diodes, and half bridges connected to motor coils provided in the motor; a voltage detector that detects a differential voltage between the motor coils; a zero-cross detector that detects a zero-cross of a back electromotive force voltage of each of the motor coils; and a controller that operates to control the H bridge circuit to operate in one of operation modes including a charge mode, a high-dissipation mode, a low-dissipation mode and a free mode by activating the switching elements of the H bridge based on the differential voltage detected by the voltage detector, wherein the H bridge circuit increases a motor current flowing in each of the motor coils in the charge mode, wherein the H bridge circuit operates with high energy dissipation and a flyback pulse of each of the motor coils is induced in the high-dissipation mode, wherein the H bridge circuit operates with low energy dissipation that is lower than in the high-dissipation mode in the low-dissipation mode, wherein the H bridge circuit operates to allow the zero-cross detector to detect the zero-cross of the back electromotive force voltage of each of the motor coils after the flyback pulse of each of the motor coils is decreased, wherein the controller further operates to perform a process including: controlling the H bridge circuit to switch to the charge mode; controlling the H bridge circuit to switch to the high-dissipation mode when the zero-cross detector detects that the back electromotive force voltage of the motor coil connected to a phase of the H bridge circuit shortly before the H bridge circuit is zero-crossed; controlling the H bridge circuit to switch to the low-dissipation mode after a predetermined time has elapsed; and controlling the H bridge circuit to switch to the free mode when the voltage detector detects that the differential voltage between the motor coils connected to the H bridge circuit is lower than a predetermined voltage. |
