Motor controller
A motor controller comprises a switch circuit, a driving circuit, and a pulse width modulation circuit. The switch circuit is coupled to a three-phase motor for driving the three-phase motor. The driving circuit generates a plurality of control signals to control the switch circuit. When the three-phase motor is operated in a start state, the motor controller may enable an electric period to be divided into more floating phase time intervals for switching phases, so as to increase the success rate of phase switching. When the three-phase motor is operated in a stable state, the motor controller may enable the electric period to be divided into less floating phase time intervals for switching phases, so as to reduce the noise and vibration of the three-phase motor.
