Abstract: A motor driving circuit includes a window opening switch, a window closing switch, an auto switch, a motor which opens and closes a window by driving rotating operation, a charging circuit which charges one capacitance element by a first CR time constant upon operating the window opening switch, and a discharging circuit which sharply charges another capacitance element upon operating the auto switch and which discharges a discharging voltage charged to the other capacitance element by a second CR time constant upon stopping operation of the auto switch. Driving operation of the motor stops when a voltage of the one capacitance element in the charging circuit is higher than a first reference voltage or a voltage of the other capacitance element in the discharging circuit is lower than a second reference voltage during driving the motor.

Abstract: When an operation switch of a motor control circuit is switched on or when the operation switch and an automatic operation switch are simultaneously switched on, a switching device is switched on to energize a relay winding and a contact in the relay is switched to drive a motor. When an overcurrent is passed to a current detecting resistor and a temperature rise in the current detecting resistor is detected by the temperature dependent resistor and/or when a rise in a voltage across terminals of the current detecting resistor is detected by an overvoltage detecting circuit, the switching device is switched off via the bias circuit to thereby stop the driving of the motor.
