Abstract

A motor control device driving a motor via an inverter circuit includes a current sensing element, a PWM signal generation unit and a current detection unit. The PWM signal generation unit is configured to generate three-phase PWM signals in a manner such that the current detection unit is capable of detecting two-phase currents at two fixed time-points within a carrier period of the PWM signal. A duty of one of the three-phase PWM signals is increased/decreased to both phase lag side and phase lead side with reference to any phase. A duty of another phase PWM signal is increased/decreased to both phase lag side and phase lead side with reference to any phase away one half of the carrier period from the reference phase. A duty of the other phase PWM signal is increased/decreased to either phase lag side or phase lead side with reference to any phase.
