%X The Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors are 
one of the motor types that is gaining rapid popularity. Its 
major appliances include refrigerators, washing machines, 
vacuum cleaners, freezers, etc. As the name implies, BLDC 
motors do not use brushes for commutation; instead, they are 
electronically commutated. This paper proposes a new 
optimized technique for the Sensorless operation of permanent 
magnet brushless direct current (BLDC) motor, which is based 
on back Electro Motive Force (back EMF), Zero Crossing 
Detection (ZCD). This proposed commutation technique of 
BLDC motor significantly reduces sensing circuits and cost of 
motor drive
