  • Publication number: 20070274694
    Abstract: A fan motor control device comprises a clock signal generator and a drive unit. The clock signal generator generates a low-frequency clock signal. A frequency of low-frequency clock signal is less than 23 KHz. The drive unit converts the low-frequency clock signal to a high-frequency drive signal and outputs the high-frequency drive signal to drive the fan motor. A frequency of the high-frequency drive signal is higher than 23 KHz.

  • Publication number: 20070160354
    Abstract: A motor control circuit includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generating circuit, a driving circuit and a waveform-shaping circuit connected between the PWM signal generating circuit and the driving circuit. The PWM signal generating circuit generates a square wave with a sequence of alternating on-time and off-time. The waveform-shaping circuit adjusts the rise-time and the fall-time of the square wave to be both within a range of 5% to 15% of the square wave period, and the driving circuit outputs a driving signal to a fan motor according to the adjusted square wave.

  • Patent number: 7233121
    Abstract: A fan speed control circuit includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generating circuit, a driving circuit and a phase compensation unit. The PWM signal generating circuit generates a PWM control signal with a sequence of alternating on-time and off-time, and the driving circuit outputs a driving signal according to the PWM control signal to a fan motor. The phase compensation unit is connected to the fan motor for delaying or advancing the PWM control signal by a phase angle to synchronize the acting period of the back electromotive force formed by the magnetic flux variation with the off-time of the PWM control signal. The present invention further provides a bi-power motor driving system including a motor rotating by receiving a first power from a first power generator, and a driving circuit for driving the motor according to a second power from a second power generator.
