1. An automotive seat system comprising:
- a moveable vehicle seat;
at least one electric motor adapted to cause the seat to move;
a DC/DC power converter;
at least one switch electrically connected with the at least one motor and the converter; and
a controller in communication with the converter, the converter configured to output a voltage ramp, under the command of the controller, to the at least one motor to control the acceleration or deceleration of the seat.

Abstract
An automotive electric motor speed control system may include at least one electric motor adapted to cause a moveable element to move, a DC/DC power converter configured to output a voltage to the at least one electric motor that increases to a desired value and subsequently decreases to control the movement of the moveable element, and a controller configured to control the rate of voltage increase and voltage decrease output by the converter.
