Abstract

In a control system for a brushless motor comprising a power source, a plurality of driving coils and contactless switching elements for intermittently supplying voltage across the power source to the driving coils in response to rotor position signals, rotor position signals are chopped by a chopping signal in which a ratio of a high level period to a low level period can be changed, and a portion of the contactless switching elements is driven by the chopped rotor position signals, thereby controlling the rotating speed of the brushless motor.
