Abstract
A driving system for driving a brushless motor effects a rotation control of a rotor by sequentially switching application of a current to magnetic coils disposed in a stator in response to a detection signal from a pole-position detector. The driving system comprises a controlling circuit for generating a driving signal, an inverter control circuit for controlling application of the current to the coils by adjusting opening and closing of switching devices in response to the driving signal, and a rotational speed sensor. The controlling circuit generates a braking signal when a rotational speed of the rotor is beyond a predetermined value, and transmits the braking signal to the inverter control circuit. The inverter control circuit effects a braking control in response to the braking signal by application of the current to at least one coil except those coils being excited upon reception of the braking signal.
