A position determination circuit uses the commutation sensor of a brushless DC motor to determine the position of an actuator and/or actuated component 125. The commutation sensor supplies a rotational position signal representative of the rotational position of the motor to a pulse generator. The pulse generator generates a pulse each time the rotational position signal represents a complete revolution of the brushless DC motor. The generated pulses are supplied to an integrator circuit, which selectively supplies a position signal having a voltage magnitude representative of the position of the actuator and/or component.
