20100001668 | BRUSHLESS MOTOR DRIVING CIRCUIT AND MOTOR HAVING THE SAME CIRCUIT - A brushless motor driving circuit includes a deviation detector for receiving a PWM input signal, which issues an instruction for rpm control, and detecting a deviation from duty ratio 50% of the PWM input signal, a determiner for detecting a comparison result at a threshold of duty ratio 50%, and a PWM output circuit for receiving a PWM reference signal having a duty ratio 50%, and producing a PWM driving signal, to be used for driving a brushless motor, in response to the deviation and the comparison result. The PWM driving signal is produced by adding the deviation to the PWM reference signal when the duty ratio of the PWM input signal is over 50%, and by subtracting the deviation from the PWM reference signal when the duty ratio is less than 50%. | 01-07-2010 |
