[0032] When the PU is running, reduce the system clock.

[0033] While the CPU is running, disable the unused peripheral clocks on the AHB and APB buses;

[0034] When the CPU is not running, the MCU enters a deep sleep mode.

[0035] The circuit structure is simple, safe to use, and effectively regulates the current flowing through the drive motor circuit, making the output current more consistent with the operation of each component. In addition, the addition of Hall effect dual backup further improves reliability.

[0036] The Hall effect sensor circuit group 4 includes a first stroke sensing Hall unit 401, a second stroke sensing Hall unit 402, a first speed sensing Hall unit 403, and a second speed sensing Hall unit 404.
