Another way to do this, is to have an inductor on board with the
speed control circuit. You would PWM that inductor in series to a filter
cap
on the output which will then give you a clean variable DC. THe inductor
will be doing all variable voltages.


ok, as i understand it, and as i said to scott earlier, this is a
problem because it mungs low speed motor start and low speed torque.


Not really, it's feeding the motor with variable DC from that integrator
stage. It's not much different than a big rheostat in terms of starting
torque. It's just more expensive and less reliable and quieter.
