Abstract

A method and apparatus of interfacing a Hall sensor to a commutation circuit comprises receiving output signals from the Hall sensor; detecting when the Hall sensor output signals are within a predetermined range; generating commutation output signals when the Hall sensor output signals are in a predetermined state for a predetermined period of time; and locking out a change in the commutation output signals for a second predetermined period of time.
