In an aspect, in general, a method for pulse width modulation control of a multiple phase drive includes identifying a set of at least one phase from the plurality of phases for the drive as eligible for clamping to one of a plurality of extreme power supply voltages, including excluding from the set of eligible phases those phases with intermediate control signal levels and excluding phases according to a proximity criterion on the control signal levels. A phase is selected from the set of eligible phases. A first offset signal is determined as a difference between a control signal level for the selected phase and an extreme control signal level associated with one of the plurality of extreme power supply voltages. A modified control signal is determined for each of the phases for the drive, by forming a combination of the first offset signal and a control signal level for each phase to determine the modified control signal for each phase. |
