        abstract = {A novel converter topology is introduced for 
driving permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) 
motors with unipolar currents. This design features a 
front-end single-ended primary inductance converter 
(SEPIC) and a series switch for each motor phase. By 
grounding all switches, the topology simplifies gate 
drive circuits. The input voltage can be boosted, 
providing enhanced current regulation, which is 
particularly beneficial for low-voltage applications. 
When operating with an AC supply, the SEPIC 
converter functions in discontinuous conduction mode 
(DCM). In this mode, it acts as a voltage follower, 
allowing the line current to approximate the line voltage 
waveform. This approach reduces low-order harmonics 
and improves the power factor without requiring any 
voltage or current sensors. The simplicity, along with a 
reduced component count, makes this topology an 
attractive, low-cost solution for various variable-speed 
drive applications.},
