A motor-driven surgical instrument having a control assembly for controlling a switch of the instrument. The surgical instrument may comprise a motor control circuit, a drive member, and a slider. The drive member comprises a first shoulder at a first position and a second shoulder at a second position. A first portion of the slider interfaces the drive member such that the slider is moveable in a direction of movement of the drive member when either the first shoulder or the second shoulder of the drive member engages the first portion of the slider. A second portion of the slider actuates a switch of the motor control circuit when the drive member moves the slider to a first position relative to the first switch. In various embodiments, the switches of the control circuit are not embodied as a part of an IC.

1. A surgical instrument, comprising: a handle;an end effector connected to the handle, the end effector comprising a moveable component;an electric motor in the handle for powering the end effector;a motor control circuit connected to the motor for controlling the motor, wherein the motor control circuit comprises a plurality of switches, wherein the plurality of switches comprises a first switch with a moveable actuator;a drive member that is driven by the motor, wherein the drive member moves longitudinally when driven by the motor, wherein the drive member causes movement of the moveable component in the end effector when driven by the motor, the drive member having a first shoulder at a first position and a second shoulder at a second position, and wherein the drive member moves upon rotation of the motor; anda slider comprising: a first portion that interfaces the drive member such that the slider is moveable by the drive member when either the first shoulder or the second shoulder of the drive member engages the first portion of the slider; anda second portion, connected to the first portion, that actuates the moveable actuator of the first switch when the first shoulder of the drive member engages the first portion of the slider to move the first and second portions of the slider from a first slider position to a second slider position relative to the first switch,wherein the slider remains in the second slider position relative to the first switch until the second shoulder of the drive member engages the first portion of the slider to move the slider from the second slider position to the first slider position;wherein the drive member comprises a rack that is driven longitudinally by a rotatable pinion, wherein the pinion is rotated by the motor, and wherein the slider moves in a same direction as the rack. 2. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the rack comprises teeth geared to the pinion, wherein the rack has a first side that defines a channel, the channel having the first shoulder at a first end and the second shoulder at a second end. 3. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the slider comprises a tab that extends into the channel defined by the rack such that the slider is moveable in the direction of movement of the rack when either the first shoulder or the second shoulder of the rack engages the tab. 4. The surgical instrument of claim 3, wherein: the rack moves the slider to the second slider position relative to the first switch when the rack is moved longitudinally in a first direction by the pinion such that the first shoulder engages the tab of the slider;the slider remains in the second slider position relative to the first switch when the rack is moved longitudinally in a second direction by the pinion that is opposite the first direction until the second shoulder of the rack engages the tab of the slider; andthe slider moves out of engagement with the moveable actuator when the second shoulder of the rack moves the slider from the second slider position relative to the first switch to the first slider position relative to the first switch. 5. The surgical instrument of claim 4, wherein the second portion of the slider comprises a cantilevered arm, and wherein the cantilevered arm engages the moveable actuator of the first switch to actuate the moveable actuator when the rack moves the slider to the second slider position relative to the first switch. 6. The surgical instrument of claim 5, wherein the cantilevered arm extends from a base of the slider, and where the cantilevered arm comprises a downward sloping portion and an upward sloping portion, wherein the upward sloping portion is connected to the base, and wherein the downward sloping portion extends from the upward sloping portion. 7. The surgical instrument of claim 6, wherein: the surgical instrument further comprises a frame inside the handle, wherein the frame comprises a stopper;the slider comprises an upper arm and a lower arm that collectively define a U-channel; andthe U-channel engages the stopper when the slider is moved to the second slider position relative to the first switch. 8. The surgical instrument of claim 7, wherein: the first switch is mounted to a circuit board; andthe circuit board is connected to the frame. 9. The surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the slider comprises: a first, fixed interface that extends into the channel defined by the rack such that the slider is moveable in the direction of movement of the rack when either the first shoulder or the second shoulder of the rack engages the first interface; anda second, moveable interface that selectively extends into the channel.
