| Summary: | Disclosed is a circuit and method for preventing erroneous opening and closing caused particularly, by use of a DC motor in an automatically/manually foldable portable radio terminal having a main body and a sub-body rotatable with respect to the main body. In the circuit, a motor provides rotating force to automatically raise or lower the sub-body, a motor driver drives the motor according to a motor driving direction control signal, an inverse electromotive force eliminator eliminates inverse electromotive force by opening or shorting both terminals of the motor according to an automatic mode or a manual mode, and a motor power controller controls supplying a driving power voltage to the motor. In the method of operating a folder, it is determined whether an automatic folder operation key has been pressed. Upon receipt of the automatic folder operation key input, a rectifier is turned on to open both terminals of a motor. At the end of the opening of the motor terminals, the motor is driven. |
