Abstract

A motor drive device which controls a spindle output predriver unit and power MOSFETs of an output stage associated with it to form a PWM signal in such a manner that a detection current formed by a DC shunt resistor and a sense amplifier and a current instruction signal coincide with each other, generates a regenerative signal obtained by giving dead times to the PWM signal, generates an energizing timing signal from the result of BEMF (back electromotive voltage) zero cross detection and generates signals for controlling on/off of power MOSFETs of three phases to thereby drive a three-phase motor, is provided with a switching characteristic adjustment unit which measures a time at which the spindle output is being transitioned and performs such feedback control that the measured time and a designated switching time coincide with each other.
