The motor driving circuit is used to drive the motor and includes an inverter circuit, a control circuit, a current-limiting circuit, a start circuit and a transient circuit. The control circuit controls the inverter circuit to drive the motor with a motor control current according to a set current limit value indicated by a current-limiting signal, and outputs a steady state ready signal in response to the motor reaching a steady state. The current-limiting circuit generates the current-limiting signal according to a start state signal, or generates the current-limiting signal according to a transient signal. The start circuit outputs the start state signal when the motor starts. The transient circuit detects whether the motor is in a transient state, and outputs the transient signal in response to the motor being in a transient state.
