Abstract
Abstract A circuit for controlling rotation of motor comprises a frequency generator for generating a rotational velocity signal responsive to the rotational velocity of a motor whose rotation is to be controlled, reference signal generator for generating a reference signal, phase comparator for comparing the phases of the rotational velocity signal and the reference signal, a multiplexing circuit for multiplexing the rotational velocity signal and the output signal of the phase comparator, a sample-and-hold circuit for sampling and holding the output multiplexed signal of the multiplexing circuit by the rotational velocity signal, and a controlling circuit for controlling the rotation of the motor by the output signal of the sample-and-hold circuit.
