Abstract

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a motor drive control device includes a motor drive unit having a plurality of switch elements connected to a power supply source and supplying a driving current to a plurality of phase coils of a motor, a control circuit unit outputting, to the motor drive unit, a drive control signal for operating the plurality of switch elements to sequentially switch energization patterns for the plurality of phase coils, and a current detecting circuit for detecting a voltage value corresponding to a magnitude of the driving current, wherein the control circuit unit includes a first determination unit determining whether a state of overcurrent where a magnitude of the driving current exceeds a predetermined overcurrent threshold occurs based on the voltage value each time an energization pattern is switched, and a second determination unit determining whether driving of the motor is in an abnormal condition based on a determination result of the first determination unit for a plurality of energization patterns.
