Abstract
A fan and a motor drive device thereof are provided. The motor drive device is configured to drive a motor and includes a control management unit and a voltage converter. The control management unit classifies target rotation speed signals provided by an ECU into multiple rotation speed ranges, each corresponding to a specific output duty ratio. The control management unit receives a target rotation speed signal transmitted from the ECU in a real-time manner, and output a voltage regulating signal, which is a pulse width modulation signal having a duty ratio corresponding to one of the rotation speed ranges in which the target rotation speed signal transmitted from the ECU falls. The voltage converter is connected between a power source and the motor, and is configured to regulate a voltage outputted to the motor in response to the voltage regulating signal having the specific duty ratio outputted from the control management unit, to regulate a rotation speed of the motor.
