ABSTRACT:
A drive circuit for a brushless DC fan motor for rotating a rotor (permanent magnet) by a rotating magnetic field produced by turning on/off the flow of electric current to field coils by a signal to control terminals of switch elements in which switch sections are each connected in series with the field coils. When connecting capacitors for absorbing a current spike in parallel with the switch sections of the switch elements, resistors are each connected between the field coil and switch section, through which the capacitors are connected in parallel with the switch sections. A discharge current of the capacitors which absorbed a current spike when turning on the switch elements is passed via the resistors, thereby eliminating a current spike.
