Abstract

A fan motor controller comprised of a power supply unit, three driving circuits, three power output circuits, a microprocessor, a voltage raising and compensation circuit, a Back-EMF sensing circuit, a current-limit protection circuit, and a speed control circuit. The fan motor controller eliminates the use of a Hall sensor, enables the field effect power transistor of the works in full conduction of each power output circuit to work in full conduction so as to lower the temperature.

Claims (7)

1. A fan motor controller comprising:

a power supply unit adapted to provide the necessary working voltage for component parts of the fan motor controller;

three driving circuits electrically connected to said microprocessor, a driving circuits each having two transistors;

three power output circuits respectively electrically connecting said driving circuits to a brushless motor, said power output circuits each comprised of a transistor and a field effect power transistor, the transistors of said power output circuits being turned on/off by means of on/off action of the transistors of said driving circuits so that the field effect power transistors of said power output circuits are turned on/off to control forward/reverse operation of said brushless motor;

a said microprocessor adapted to receive control signals and to output control signals to said driving circuits;

a voltage raising and compensation circuit, said voltage raising and compensation circuit being comprised of a plurality of transistors, resistors, capacitors and diodes, and adapted to raise the voltage of said power supply unit and to provide raised voltage to said driving circuits for driving said field effect power transistors;

a back-EMF sensing circuit, said back-EMF sensing circuit being comprised of three operational amplifiers electrically connected to said brushless motor and said microprocessor to detect the polarity address of the rotor of said brushless motor and to output the detected signal to said microprocessor for digital signal control.
