Abstract
A motor control device includes an energization controller that generates energization control signals of a bridge driver, an ADC that samples and converts analog feedback voltages corresponding to output voltages of the bridge driver into digital feedback signals, and a zero-crossing detector that receives the feedback signals so as to perform zero-crossing detection for determining commutation timing and PWM duty of the energization control signal. Sampling timings of the ADC are switched to one of PWM on period and PWM off period according to the PWM duty. The energization controller PWM drives lower side switches of the bridge driver, and the sampling timings of the ADC are set to the PWM off period. The ADC performs an ADC process of the feedback voltage both in the PWM on period and in the PWM off period, and the zero-crossing detector adopts one of ADC results according to the PWM duty.
