A motor driver having a motor abnormality detection mechanism is provided. A motor position detecting circuit detects a change in a state of a rotor of the motor switching between a plurality of magnetic pole positions to output a commutation signal. An abnormality determining circuit, according the commutation signal, determines a plurality of time intervals during which the rotor of the motor is switched to the plurality of magnetic pole positions respectively to output an abnormality detected signal. A rotational protection controller circuit outputs a rotation protecting signal to a motor driving circuit according to the abnormality detected signal. A motor driving circuit drives the motor according to the rotation protecting signal. When the abnormality detected signal received by the rotational protection controller circuit indicates that the motor abnormally rotates, the rotational protection controller circuit adjusts the rotation protecting signal outputted to the motor driving circuit.

Motor driver having motor abnormality detection mechanism

A motor driver using a motor magnetic pole reference controlling mechanism is provided. A motor position detecting circuit detects a rotor of a motor to determine a plurality of magnetic pole positions to which the rotor of the motor is switched respectively during a plurality of time intervals. A reference magnetic pole switching circuit selects one of the plurality of time intervals according to a change in rotational speed of the motor over time. The reference magnetic pole switching circuit uses the magnetic pole position to which the rotor of the motor is switched during the one of the plurality of time intervals as magnetic pole reference data. A motor driving circuit drives the motor according to the magnetic pole reference data from the reference magnetic pole switching circuit.
