Abstract

A motor control device includes a PWM signal generation unit configured to increase/decrease duty in both leading and lagging directions regarding a phase in which the duty becomes maximum among three-phase PWM signals. The unit is also configured to increase/decrease the duty in one of leading and lagging directions regarding a phase in which the duty becomes minimum. Regarding a phase in which duty is intermediate between the phases, the unit is configured to increase/decrease duty in the other of the leading and lagging directions based on the phase, thereby generating a three-phase PWM signal pattern so that a current detection unit is capable of detecting two-phase currents at two time-points fixed within a carrier period of the PWM signal respectively. A duty compensation unit is configured to increase/decrease before and after changing an increasing/decreasing direction of three-phase duties, increasing/decreasing the duties to compensate for the duties.
