Abstract: The drive circuit (10) includes a processing and control circuit (14) comprising a protection circuit (16), designed to generate at its output a logical inhibiting signal (C) starting from every zero crossing of the motor supply volts (V), the inhibiting signal (C) having a predetermined duration (t0) which is less than a quarter of the period of the supply voltage (V); and an enabling circuit (17), connected to a sensor of the position of the rotor (6) and designed to enable a first and a second controlled conduction device (12, 13) associated with the stator winding (4) to conduct current alternately, in synchronization with the signal (H) supplied by the position sensor (6). The enabling circuit (17) is connected to the protection circuit (16) in such a way that the conduction of current through the controlled conduction device (12, 13) enabled at any time is inhibited for the duration (t0) of the inhibiting (C).
