Claim 0:
1. A circuit for controlling a motor, the circuit comprising:
driver circuitry configured to drive the motor based on a switching signal; and
control circuitry comprising one or more processors configured to:
generate, for a phase of the motor, a switching signal indicating to couple the phase to a first terminal of a supply for an entire portion of each switching cycle of a first plurality of switching cycles corresponding to a first range of electrical angles for the rotor and to couple the phase to a second terminal of the supply for a portion of each switching cycle of a second plurality of switching cycles corresponding to a second range of electrical angles for the rotor; and
output, to the driver circuitry, the switching signal, wherein the driver circuitry is configured to control the motor based on the switching signal.
