Abstract

This article (1) proposes the use of a varying sensing resistor for digital charge estimators of piezoelectric actuators, (2) shows the usefulness of this proposal and (3) derives formulae to estimate the proposed varying sensing resistor. Digital charge estimators are used for charge-based precise position control of piezoelectric actuators. In existing digital charge estimators, an uncalculated resistor is used for a wide range of operating areas. Improper choice of the sensing resistor causes excessive drop in accuracy of charge estimation and/or in the driver voltage across the actuator. These issues are shown to nearly vanish with the use of proposed varying resistors.
