Abstract

A driving circuit for a brushless DC motor having a small amount of torque ripple comprises a magnetic pole position detecting circuit for detecting positions of magnetic poles of a rotor magnet and delivering polyphase signals indicating the positions, a rectifier adder circuit for producing a sum of positive or negative portions of the polyphase signals from the magnetic pole position detecting circuit, a first error amplifier for adjusting a gain of the magnetic pole position detecting circuit to make an output signal of the rectifier adder circuit to be proportional to an instruction signal, a power supply circuit for supplying currents to armature coils in response to the polyphase signals, a modulating signal producing circuit for producing a modulating signal synchronized with the rotation of the motor, and a second error amplifier for adjusting a gain of the power supply circuit to make the currents supplied to the armature coils to be proportional to the modulating signal.
