FAN SYSTEM AND BRAKE CONTROL CIRCUIT THEREOF
First Claim
1. A fan system, comprising:
- a motor with a coil module having a first connection terminal and a second connection terminal;
a storage unit electrically coupling with a voltage source, storing electrical energy when the voltage source is available, and releasing the stored electrical energy to carry out a brake operation when the voltage source is unavailable;
a driver electrically coupling with the first and second connection terminals of the coil module to control a direction of an inductor current passing through the coil module; and
a buffer circuit electrically coupling with the coil module,wherein, in the brake operation, the buffer circuit operates to form a transient potential between the first and second connection terminals of the coil module and to consume electrical energy of the inductor current, for gradually stopping the motor in a buffering time period.

Abstract
A fan system including a motor with a coil, a storage unit, a driver, and a buffer circuit is provided. The coil module has a first connection terminal and a second connection terminal. The storage unit electrically couples with a voltage source, stores electrical energy when the voltage source is available, and releases the stored electrical energy to carry out a brake operation when the voltage source is unavailable. The driver electrically couples with the first and second connection terminals of the coil module to control a direction of an inductor current passing through the coil module. The buffer circuit electrically couples with the coil module. In the brake operation, the buffer circuit operates to form a transient potential between the first and second connection terminals of the coil module and to consume electrical energy of the inductor current, for gradually stopping the motor in a buffering time period.
