Abstract
A motor driver includes a driving waveform generator simply constructed. Because the generator produces a waveform having rather small numbers of steps divided and voltage levels divided. Respective phase-driving signals responsive to a step-like voltage waveform produced by the generator are applied to a power feeder, so that an alternate current—shaping in a sine wave and changing sequentially—runs through respective phase-coils. Further, phase-advancing control realizes phase agreement between respective phase-currents and back electromotive force generated each of the respective phases. As a result, a motor can be driven efficiently with less torque ripples, vibrations and noises.
