Low inductance motors


AN4704 NXP:
During the active cycle of the PWM period, the phase current is rising. The slope of the rising current is defined by the motor phase coil inductance; the lower the phase inductance, the larger the gradient of the rising current. It is important to measure the current in the middle of the PWM active cycle to obtain the average phase current.

There are many low inductance motors around these days. By low I mean 5μH and lower. These are coreless or compact outrunners.
The problem is that the inductance is so low, that it is unable to integrate the PWM and current ripple blows the controller or overheats a motor. Or significantly lowers motor's maximum useful current at least.
