Abstract
A motor driving control device includes a motor driving unit, a position detection unit, a current detection unit and a control unit. The control unit includes a change detecting means configured to detect a predetermined phase change in the position signal, a first switching means configured to sequentially switch energization patterns of the coils with the plurality of phases based on a timing when the phase change is detected, and a second switching means configured to, in a state where the change detecting means does not detect the phase change, when a value of the drive current becomes a predetermined first threshold or more during a monitoring time period after a timing when the predetermined phase change in the position signal is expected, perform an operation to forcibly switch to a next energization pattern regardless of the timing of switching the energization pattern by the first switching means.
