A motor system includes a brushless direct current motor, voltage divider circuits, a switch and an analog-to-digital converter. The brushless direct current motor includes 3 sets of windings, one set of windings being floating during each commutation. There are 3 voltage divider circuits, and each voltage divider circuit includes a first resistor, a second resistor and a bypass diode. The first resistor includes a first terminal coupled to the set of floating windings. The second resistor includes a first terminal coupled to the first resistor, and a second terminal coupled to the switch to receive a control voltage at the second terminal of the second terminal or grounding the second terminal of the second terminal. The bypass diode is coupled in parallel to the first resistor. The analog-to-digital converter receives a divided back-electromotive force signal to determine back-electromotive force zero crossing, so as to perform the commutation.
