Abstract: A brushless DC (BLDC) motor system and a method of controlling the same are provided. The BLDC motor system comprises a BLDC motor including a rotator and a stator, a plurality of switches, a DC current sensor, a position detector and a controller. The stator has a plurality of coils to which currents having different phase are applied. The switches are driven with switching pulses for switching the currents applied to the coils. The position detector detects a position change of the rotator to thereby generate a counter-electromotive force and the DC current sensor senses currents when the currents are applied from the switches to the coils. Based on a magnitude of the counter electromotive force, the controller generates a compensation voltage in order to control the switches during the commutation interval. Further, a duty ratio of the switching pulse is controlled based on the differences between the currents applied to the coils and a reference current.
