Circuits and methods for use with an integrated circuit chip having internal back EMF estimation to control a permanent magnet synchronous motor includes an AC current feedback circuit, a scaling circuit, and a current regulator. Additionally, a speed regulator may be employed. In one embodiment, during operation at very low speed, the speed regulator is in an open loop control mode due to a back EMF detection limitation of the IC chip, and only the current regulator is active. A feedback current signal, together with a user-defined command current signal, serves the input of the current regulator, which controls the AC motor current and drives the motor speed from standstill. Once the motor speed reaches a certain level, the measured back EMF from the IC chip is sufficient to estimate the motor speed, which is compared with a user-defined command speed, and an error of the these two signals provides the input of a speed regulator.
