Abstract

A fan driving circuit includes a primary winding, an activating capacitor, a control circuit, a switch circuit and a secondary winding. The primary winding and the activating capacitor are electrically coupled to an external power source. The control circuit generates a control signal. The switch circuit is electrically coupled to the first winding. The switch circuit is also electrically coupled to the activating capacitor. The switch circuit has at least one control terminal electrically coupled to the control circuit for receiving the control signal. The secondary winding is electrically coupled to the switch circuit. The secondary winding is electrically coupled to the switch circuit. The secondary winding electromagnetically drives a fan according to a flowing direction of its driving current. The switch circuit conducts the secondary winding's driving current's flowing direction based on the control signal's voltage level.
