摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method and device for driving a brake system pump motor, which has the advantage of simultaneously allowing prioritized, individual braking strategies, using the present invention as a subsystem for intelligently driving the pump motor. The invention provides the additional advantage of reducing pump motor current requirements, allowing the use of a reduced size of pump motor. The invention provides for a predetermined period of full-on voltage at the initiation of a braking request, subsequent periods of variable pump motor voltage on-time, depending on pulse width modulation of a drive motor signal based on a comparison between the motor voltage and a threshold voltage, and subsequent periods of full-on voltage for a predetermined period based on a comparison between the motor voltage and a safety threshold voltage.
