Abstract: Driver circuits for a low-cost two-phase motor are disclosed. Cost reductions may be further achieved by utilizing a printed circuit board (PCB)-based stator and methods of manufacturing, as disclosed herein. The disclosed technology can be particularly well matched for use in two-phase motors, such as axial-flux motors the utilize one or more ferrite-based rotors and a printed circuit board (PCB)-based stator. In certain implementations, part or all of the motor driver circuitry may be integrated onto the same PCB as is utilized to define the stator windings. In other implementations, the motor driver circuitry may be independently utilized with other traditional electrical motors.
