Neural network circuitry for motors

An apparatus for driving a motor, the apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of neurons of neural network circuitry implemented using one or more processors and configured to generate a cycle value based on a target speed, based on a speed value associated with the motor at a particular time, and based on a current value associated with the motor at the particular time, wherein the plurality of neurons is configured to be trained to generate the cycle value to minimize an error between the cycle value and a training cycle value for each training vector of a plurality of training vectors and wherein the apparatus is configured to have generated the plurality of training vectors;
• and
• motor circuitry configured to:
• control, based on the cycle value, a set of switching elements to drive the motor;
• measure a back-electromagnetic force voltage at the motor and at the particular time;
• and
• determine the speed value associated with the motor at the particular time based on the back-electromagnetic force voltage.
