I would not expect very smooth operation in 'D' or step motor mode (no encoder
feedback/PID), especially with IGBTs and their long switching times that
neccessitate a large dead zone. Do you have the dead zone time set properly? I
think the default is 5 Usec which is (deliberately) huge. (note: too small
a dead time will be fatal to your IRAM)
I would get feedback running before worrying a lot about smoothness.
You definately do not want kinks in the top of the voltage waveform.
if anything you may want a voltage step at the sine zero crossing to
compensate for the dead zone (if the required dead zone is a significant
portion of the total PWM period).
