The vector control technique using low-resolution Hall-effect sensors has been widely used especially in consumer electronics. Due to electrical and/or mechanical unevenness related to binary-type Hall sensors, the calculated or estimated position information has discontinuities so called bumps, which causes the deterioration of vector control performance. In order to obtain a linearly changing position signal from low-precision Hall-effect sensors, this paper proposes a simple bumps in position signal removal algorithm that consists of a first-order observer with low-pass filtering scheme. The proposed algorithm has the feature of no needs for system parameters and additional estimation processes. The validity of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experimental results.

Application of vector control scheme for consumer products is enlarging to improve control performance. For the field-oriented control, accurate position detection is essential and generally requires expensive sensors. On the other hand, cost-reduction is important in home appliances, so that binary-type Hall-effect sensors are commonly used rather than using an expensive sensor such as an encoder. The control performance is directly influenced by the accuracy of the position information, and there exist non-uniformities related to Hall sensors in electrical and mechanical aspects, which result in distorted position information. Therefore, to get high-precision position information from low-resolution Hall sensors, this paper proposes a new position estimator consisting of a Kalman filter and feedforward compensation scheme, which generates a linearly changing position signal. The efficacy of the proposed scheme is verified by simulation and experimental results carried out with a 48-pole permanent magnet motor.

This paper presents an improved approach for compensating rotor position signal displacement in brushless DC (BLDC) motors with misaligned hall-effect sensors. Typically, the hall-effect sensors in BLDC motors are located in each phase and positioned exactly 120 electrical degrees apart. However, limitations in mechanical tolerances make it difficult to place hall-effect sensors at the correct location. In this paper, a position error compensator to counteract the hall-effect sensor positioning error is proposed. The proposed position error compensator uses least squares error analysis to adjust the relative position error and back-EMF information to reduce the absolute offset error. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified through several experiments.

Six-step commutation control widely used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor can be applied to consequent pole permanent magnet (CPPM) belt starter generator (BSG) with trapezoidal back electromotive force (EMF) in the starter state. However, rotor position detection with three Hall sensors in BLDC motor can hardly be employed in CPPM BSG due to asymmetric flux distribution in each pole side of CPPM BSG. This paper presents a low-cost rotor position detection method for CPPM BSG in which six Hall sensors are proposed to be used based on the analysis of flux distribution by 3D FEA. In the method, the six Hall sensors are divided into three groups and two signals in each group are combined through performing logic operations. In addition, offset angle between back EMF and the related Hall signal can be compensated by moving the Hall sensors. Experiments of a 2 kW CPPM BSG prototype have also been performed to verify the proposed method.

This paper describes the characteristics of Si Hall sensors fabricated on a SOI(Si-on-insulator} structure, in which the SOI structure was forrmed by SDB(Si-wafer direct bonding) technology. The Hall voltage and the sensitivity of implemented Si Hall devices show good linearity with respect to the applied magnetic flux density and supplied current. The product sensitivity of the SDB SOI Hall device is average $600V/A{\cdot}T$. In the temperature range of 25 to $300^{\circ}C$, the shifts of TCO(Temperature Coefficient of the Offset Voltage) and TCS(Temperature Coefficient of the product Sensitivity) are less than ${\pm}6.7{\times}10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$ and ${\pm}8.2{\times}10^{-4}/^{\circ}C$, respectively. From these results, Si Hall sensors using the SOI structure presented here are very suitable for high-temperature operation.

Using thermal oxide SiO$_2$ as a dielectrical isolation layer, SOI Hall sensors without pn junction isolation have been fabricated on Si/SiO$_2$/Si structures. The SOI structure was formed by SDB (Si- wafer direct bonding) technology. The Hall voltage and the sensitivity of Si Hall devices implemented on the SDB SOI structure show good linearity with respect to the appled magnetic flux density and supplied current. The product sensitivity of the SDB SOI Hall device is average 600V/V.T. In the trmperature range of 25 to 300$^{\circ}C$, the shifts of TCO(Temperature Coefficient of the Offset Voltage) and TCS(Temperature Coefficient of the Product Sensitivity) are less than ${\pm}$ 6.7x10$\^$-3/ C and ${\pm}$8.2x10$\^$04/$^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results indicate that the SDB SOI structure has potential for the development of Hall sensors with a high-sensitivity and high-temperature operation.

This paper deals with the position control of an AC servo motor using linear hall-effect sensors. The price of these is very low, but it is possible to make position control of motor similar to a control using an encoder. This paper introduces the design of motor using linear hall-effect sensors and shows the results of control.

This paper presents a novel hall sensor fault detection and fault-tolerant control method for a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system. A phase locked loop (PLL) type position estimator is used with a conventional interpolation based rotor position estimator to reduce position errors due to misalignment of hall sensors. The expected trigger time of hall sensor's output is used for detecting hall sensor fault condition and the PLL type position estimator is reconfigured for fault-tolerant control at the hall sensor fault condition. The proposed method can minimize current ripples during the transition from sensored control using hall sensors to sensorless control. Experimental results have been proposed to prove the validity of the proposed method.

RF 마그네트론 스펏터링 방법으로 ZnO 박막을 성장시켜 TMA 가스 센서를 제작하였다. ZnO 박막의 성장분위기 가스와 첨가불순물이 박막의 표면 캐리어(전자) 농도, Hall 전자 이동도, 전기저항률 및 감도에 미치는 영향을 동작온도와 TMA 가스 농도를 변화시켜가며 조사하였다. 산소분위기에서 성장된 박막이 아르곤의 경우보다, 촉매불순물이 첨가된 박막이 첨가되지 않은 경우보다, 각각 표면 캐리어 농도와 Hall 전자 이동도가 높았고, 높은 감도 및 낮은 전기저항률을 나타내었다. 산소분위기에서 성장되었고, 불순물로 4 wt.%의 $Al_{2}O_{3}$, 1 wt.%의 $TiO_{2}$ 및 0.2 wt.%의 $V_{2}O_{3}$를 첨가한 ZnO 박막으로 만든 센서가 가장 높은 표면 캐리어 농도 $5.95{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$ 및 Hall 전자 이동도 $177\;cm^{2}/V{\cdot}s$와 가장 낮은 전기저항률 $0.59{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 및 가장 높은 감도 12.1을 나타내었다. 이때 TMA 가스 농도는 8 ppm, 동작온도는 $300^{\circ}C$였다.

This paper proposes new vector control method that using two rectangular hall sensors instead of using the expensive encoder and resolver. The proposed method is similar to T-method. But the proposed method measures the speed using two hall sensors signals instead of encoder signal. The proposed new speed estimation method is stable under the rated speed range. This algorithm will be able to moderate prices of the whole system and apply for the unfit place for use encoder and resolver.
