Abstract

A motor drive controller is for controlling a motor having multiple phases and includes: a comparison reference voltage generator that generates a predetermined constant voltage as a comparison reference voltage; a counter-electromotive voltage comparator that compares the comparison reference voltage with a counter-electromotive voltage of each phase of the motor; and a rotation state detector that detects a rotation state of the motor based on positive/negative polarities of counter-electromotive voltages of other phases with respect to the comparison reference voltage at the time of an occurrence of a zero cross between the counter-electromotive voltage of any one phase and the comparison reference voltage.
