Chien-Ming Sun has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10615723
    Abstract: A multi-phase brushless DC motor driving circuit includes a driving-stage circuit, a PWM generator, a control circuit and a plurality of current detection circuits. The driving-stage circuit includes a plurality of sub-driving circuits each having a high-side transistor and a low-side transistor. The current detection circuits detect the current at a node between the high-side transistor and the low-side transistor of the corresponding sub-driving circuit, and then generate a current detection signal. According to the current detection signals, the control circuit controls the PWM generator to generate a plurality of PWM signals for controlling the conducting and cutting off of the high-side transistor and the low-side transistor of each sub-driving circuit, and to provide a driving current to drive a multi-phase brushless DC motor.
