Driving circuit for motor systems and control method thereof

Abstract

A driving circuit for a motor has a multiplexer, a current polarity detection circuit, a first comparison circuit, a reverse current control circuit, a first bridge circuit, and a second bridge circuit. The multiplexer chooses a voltage at a common node of two switches of the first bridge circuit or a voltage at a common node of two switches of the second bridge circuit as a chosen common node voltage based on a hall sensing signal. The comparison circuit provides a comparison signal by comparing the chosen common node voltage with an input voltage. The reverse current control circuit determines whether to control a low-side switch of the first bridge circuit or a low-side switch of the second bridge circuit to work in a low-dropout linear regulation (LDO) mode based on the comparison signal and a polarity indication signal provided by the current polarity detection circuit.
