Abstract
A motor driving apparatus is disclosed, which stops driving a motor in a normal operation state and a start state. The motor driving apparatus adjusts a corresponding switch according to a pulse width modulation (PWM) table, to gradually increase a duty cycle of turning-on the corresponding switch. The PWM table indicates a relationship between a parameter and the duty cycle. The duty cycle increases with the monotone variation of the parameter. Accordingly, the motor driving apparatus can rapidly stop the operation of the motor, to avoid that the motor driving apparatus breaking down or the motor generating noise.
