Abstract

The present invention enables modulated wave signals having extremely small waveform distortion to be generated using a relatively simple circuit, and thereby it is possible to hold down vibrations and noise of a motor, which are attributable to torque ripples. In order to remove defects of the conventional techniques, the circuit generates a plurality of trapezoidal wave signals having at least two constant levels based on position sensing signals of magnetic pole of a motor, generates quasi-sinusoidal wave signals at a quasi-sinusoidal wave modulator based on the plurality of trapezoidal wave signals, and compares the quasi-sinusoidal wave signals with a carrier wave so as to perform PWM control of an inverter.
