Abstract: This application discloses a data sending method and apparatus, and a FlexE switching system. When slice packets received by a sending module include a SOP flag and a EOP flag of a same data packet, it indicates that the sending module receives a complete data packet, and immediately sends data packet slices, or sends the data packet slices after a latency of first preset duration. In this way, a stream inside the data packet is not interrupted, a data sending latency is reduced, and transmission efficiency is improved. When the slice packets received by the sending module include a SOP flag of a data packet but do not include a EOP flag of the data packet, it indicates that the sending module has not received a complete data packet, and then sends data packet slices after a latency of second preset duration longer than the first preset duration.

The operating unit enters an operating mode after a motor is stably operated, and generates an operating signal having phases according to a commutation sequence, and the driving unit drives the motor. The BEMF detecting unit detects a BEMF of a first floating phase to generate a detection result. The control unit outputs a commutation signal to cause the driving unit to drive the motor. When the rotation speed detecting unit determines that a rotation speed of the motor exceeds a predetermined rotation speed, the rotation speed detecting unit outputs a switching signal to the lock protection unit to enter the lock protection mode.
