Abstract

A rotor driving system has a rotor, a revolution sensor, a sensing circuit, a controller, and a rotor driver. The revolution sensor is configured to sense a revolution frequency of the rotor so as to generate a measurement signal. The sensing circuit is electrically connected to the revolution sensor and configured to convert the measurement signal into a current revolution measured value. The controller is electrically connected to the sensing circuit and configured to generate an estimated revolution frequency based on a historical revolution measured value, the current revolution measured value, and a reference value, and generate a rotor driving signal based on the estimated revolution frequency and a revolution control signal. The rotor driver is electrically connected to the controller and configured to drive the rotor to rotate based on the rotor driving signal.
