Abstract

A motor control circuit calculates, based on a sensed current of a sensor phase sensed by a current sensor, an estimated current of the other phase and calculates a d-axis and a q-axis estimated currents based on the sensed current of the sensor phase and the estimated current of the other phase. The motor control circuit further calculates a d-axis and a q-axis command voltages based on the estimated currents thereby to control power supply to the AC motor. When the sensed current of the sensor phase is 0 [A], the command voltages are fixed and the estimated current is interpolated. Thus, variations of the command voltages caused by an error in the estimated current are reduced and a rapid change in the estimated current is reduced.
