Abstract
A fan motor with constant speed control comprises a microprocessor system, a bus control logic, a register for actual fan speed, a register for fan state, a register for speed set-up, a linear variable voltage circuit control logic, and a braking/running enabling control logic. The microprocessor system is connected via the bus control logic to the register for actual fan speed, the register for fan state, and the register for speed set-up. The register for fan state sets up enabling of braking and running by means of controlling output voltage by the braking/running enabling control logic. The register for speed set-up sets up speed values by the microprocessor system. After comparing a speed value to an actual fan speed signal by the linear variable voltage circuit control logic, the linear variable voltage circuit control logic generates a linear variable voltage (drive voltage) which is outputted to the fan via the braking/running enabling control logic. The actual fan speed signal is accumulated in the linear variable voltage circuit control logic and then outputted to the register for actual fan speed for retrieval by the microprocessor system via the bus control logic.
