Abstract

The disclosed invention achieves a significant reduction in the noise and vibration of a brushless motor from a startup up to the number of steady revolutions. To drive the brushless motor from stop up to the number of steady revolutions, when the arithmetic sequencer detects a rise of a clock signal CARYCLK, current control arithmetic is executed. On detecting a fall of the clock signal, the arithmetic sequence determines whether a division control signal DIVCNT has changed. If this signal has changed, soft switch arithmetic is executed. When the division control signal has not changed or after the completion of soft switching arithmetic, the arithmetic sequencer determines whether a rise of a mask signal MASK has occurred during one cycle of the PWM carrier signal CARYCLK. If a rise of the mask signal has not occurred, the operation returns to the first step. If a rise of the mask signal has occurred, PLL control arithmetic is executed, then the operation returns to the first step.
