Abstract
This specification discloses a Hall motor control system in which Hall elements detect the position of a rotor comprising a permanent magnet to switch over driving currents flowing to driving coils. Induced voltages produced in the driving coils or the voltage detecting coils by rotation of the motor are synthesized by a diode, and the resultant voltage is level-shifted by a level shift circuit including a transistor, and then compared with a reference speed voltage. To control the input to the Hall elements by the comparison output and provide a constant speed of rotation, there are provided temperature compensating means formed by diodes in the base circuit of the transistor of the level shift circuit and in the reference speed voltage circuit, respectively.
