- the computation process can be drastically simplified as compared with the conventionally used angular position detector having the function of the RTD converter. This produces the effect that the computation load placed on the microcomputer due to computation can be minimized.
- the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) obtained by the servo logic portion 60 is transmitted to the interpolation-logic portion 70, as shown in FIG. 4.
- the interpolation-logic portion 70 includes interpolation means for interpolating the rotational angle ⁇ between the rotational angles ⁇ s (n) discretely detected at sampling times ts (n), and delay correcting means for correcting the deviation of the time point at which the detected value is output from the time point at which the actual value of the rotational angle ⁇ is obtained, which occurs in the servo logic portion 60.

- the sampling frequency of the A/D converter 52 may be increased, thereby performing sampling more frequently.
- the frequency of the reference signal REF that can be produced by the oscillating circuit 42 and the processing power of the microcomputer that constitutes the control unit 40 are limited, there is a limit as to the extent to which the sampling frequency can be increased.

As shown in FIG. 7, the rotational angle ⁇ at time t is obtained based on the contiguous data (corresponding to the straight line LNl) that is estimated based on the discrete data (corresponding to the stepwise line LN2) output from the servo logic portion 60.

- the interpolated-value calculation portion 72 calculates the angle change amount d ⁇ l in the above-described manner, and outputs it to the adder 76.
- the adder 76 calculates the rotational angle ⁇ by adding the angle change amount d ⁇ l to the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) transmitted from the memory-calculation portion 68, and transmits it to the inverter control circuit 46 (not shown).
- the rotational angle ⁇ can be detected by the interpolation means at the appropriate time, the detected rotational angle ⁇ lags the actual rotational angle of the AC motor Ml due to the feedback control of the servo logic portion 60. As such, the response is somewhat delayed. Accordingly, in addition to the interpolation process, a correction process for correcting the delay in response is performed on the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) to minimize the delay in response.

- the rotational angle ⁇ is always output with a predetermined time lag Ta.
- Such a delay in response appears as a difference in the rotational angle indicated by the arrow Er2 when the rotational angle ⁇ and the rotational angle ⁇ i are compared with each other at given time t.
- the rotational angle ⁇ always appears to deviate from the rotational angle ⁇ i by an amount corresponding to deviation of the time point at which the rotational angle ⁇ from the time point at which the rotational angle ⁇ i is obtained.
- the delay correcting means shifts the entire straight line LN4 only by the angle change amount d ⁇ 2 such that the straight line
- LN4 matches the straight line LN5.
- the straight line LN5 substantially matches the straight line LN3
- the deviation of the rotational angle ⁇ from the rotational angle ⁇ i can be eliminated.
- the angular speed ⁇ s (n) calculated by the servo logic portion 60 corresponds to the slope of the straight line LN4 at sampling time ts (n). Accordingly, the angle change amount d ⁇ 2 can be calculated by multiplying the angular speed ⁇ s (n) by the predetermined time Ta.
- the interpolated-value calculation portion 72, a delay correcting portion 74, and the adder 76 in the interpolation-logic portion 70 constitute the delay correcting means in the signal processing circuit 44 in FIG. 4. More specifically, the predetermined time Ta is a value specific to the servo logic portion 60, and stored in advance as a delay correction constant Ta in the delay correcting portion 74.
- the delay correcting portion 74 transmits the delay correction constant Ta to the interpolated-value calculation portion 72.
- the interpolated-value calculation portion 72 calculates the angle change amount d ⁇ 2 using the angular speed ⁇ s (n) from the filter portion 64 and the delay correction constant Ta from the delay correcting portion 74.
- the angle change amount d ⁇ 2 is calculated according to the method described above, and transmitted to the adder 76. Once the adder 76 receives the angle change amount d ⁇ 2 from the interpolated-value calculation portion 72 and the angle change amount d ⁇ 1 described above, the adder 76 adds the angle change amounts d ⁇ l, d ⁇ 2 and the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) to determine the final rotational angle ⁇ s (n). The adder 76 then transmits the calculated rotational angle ⁇ to the inverter control circuit 46 (not shown).
- the inverter control circuit 46 is provided with the rotational angle ⁇ that accurately matches the actual rotational angle ⁇ i of the rotor in the AC motor Ml.
- the motor drive unit according to the invention can appropriately drive the AC motor Ml even when the AC motor Ml runs at a high speed.
- FIG. 10 An example of the interpolation means and the delay correcting means is shown in FIG. 10. Unlike the case shown in FIG. 4, the configuration is such that the servo logic portion is not provided with the interpolation-logic portion 70, and a servo logic portion 6OA shown in FIG. 10 is employed.
- the servo logic portion 6OA calculates the angular acceleration as (n) by further differentiating the angular speed ⁇ s (n) calculated based on the instantaneous value ⁇ s (n) of the rotational angle by using an angular acceleration calculation portion 620.
- the servo logic portion 6OA integrates the calculated angular acceleration as (n) twice by using an integrator 78, increases the gain of the integrator by using a variable gainer 780, and outputs it to the memory-calculation portion 68.
- the interpolation-logic portion 70 interpolates the rotational angle ⁇ at the given time between the rotational angles Os (n) at the consecutive sampling times ts (n) using the angular speed ⁇ s (n) output from the servo logic portion 60 to compensate for the response delay. Accordingly, it is not necessary to increase the feedback gain, and stable feedback control can be performed in the servo logic portion 60. In addition, because the increase in the load placed on the microcomputer is suppressed, the cost can be reduced.
- FIG. 11 shows an example of an alternative configuration including the interpolation-logic portion 70.
- a servo logic portion 6OB converts the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) to the angular speed using the angular speed calculation portion 62B and a filter portion 64B again, and transmits the angular speed to the interpolation-logic portion 70.
- the interpolation-logic portion 70 in this configuration interpolates the rotational angle ⁇ at the given time between the rotational angles ⁇ s (n) at the consecutive sampling times ts (n) and corrects response delay based on the angular speed transmitted from the servo logic portion 6OB, the rotational angle ⁇ can be accurately detected and high response is achieved, as in the case shown in FIG. 4.
- the load placed on the microcomputer is considerably increased.
- the servo logic portion 60 directly supplies the angular speed ⁇ s (n) obtained by the feedback control to the interpolation-logic portion 70, and the interpolation-logic portion 70 interpolates the rotational angle ⁇ at the given time between the rotational angles at the consecutive sampling times ts and corrects the delay in response using the angular speed ⁇ s (n). Accordingly, an increase in the load placed on the microcomputer can be minimized, and the cost for producing the angular position detector can be further reduced.
- FIG. 12 illustrates the flowchart for describing the rotational angle detection routine performed by the angular position detector according to the invention.
- the routine commences, the A/D converter 52 of the absolute angle-calculation portion 50 is activated. At this time, the A/D converter 52 obtains the timer value ts from the timer 70 that always operates in synchronization with the reference signal REF having a predetermined frequency (step SOl).
- the angle-calculation portion 54 calculates the instantaneous value ⁇ s (n) of the rotational angle using the digital signals Asin ⁇ s (n) and Acos ⁇ s (n) (step S03). Then, the angle-calculation portion 54 transmits the instantaneous value ⁇ s (n) of the rotational angle to the servo logic portion 60.
- the servo logic portion 60 uses the instantaneous value ⁇ s (n) of the rotational angle, the rotational angle ⁇ s (n — 1) and the angular speed ⁇ s (n - 1) at the immediately preceding sampling time ts (n - 1) to calculate the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) and the angular speed ⁇ s (n) at the current sampling time ts (n) (step S04).
- the servo logic portion 60 transmits the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) and the angular speed ⁇ s (n) to the interpolation-logic portion 70.
- the interpolation-logic portion 70 After receiving the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) at each sampling time ts (n), the interpolation-logic portion 70 interpolates the rotational angle ⁇ at the given time between the rotational angles ⁇ s (n) at the consecutive sampling times ts according to the manner described above. More specifically, the timer 80 obtains the elapsed time t — ts (n) that has elapsed since the immediately preceding sampling time ts until the time t at which an instruction to obtain the rotational angle ⁇ is issued. The timer 80 then transmits the elapsed time t - ts (n) to the interpolated-value calculation portion 72. The interpolated- value calculation portion 72 calculates the angle change amount d ⁇ l, and transmits it to the adder 76.
- the interpolated-value calculation portion 72 calculates the angle change amount d ⁇ 2, and transmits it to the adder 76. After receiving the angle change amounts d ⁇ l and d ⁇ 2 from the interpolated- value calculation portion 72, and the rotational angle ⁇ s (n) from the memory-calculation portion 68, the adder 76 transmits the total sum of the values as the rotational angle ⁇ at time t to the inverter control circuit (step S06).
- the angular position detector according to the invention can be configured at low cost, and can accurately detect the angular position of the rotor in the A/C motor even when the A/C motor runs at a high speed.
- the invention can be applied to angular position detectors that detect the angular position of a rotor in a motor, and motor drive units in which such angular position detectors are included.
