Abstract
A speed control unit computes a instructed current based on an error between a instructed speed and an estimated speed. A current control unit outputs a reference voltage corresponding to an error between the instructed current and a detected motor current. By adding estimated speed electromotive force to the reference voltage, a motor-applied voltage is generated and a synchronous motor is driven. An estimation unit computes the estimated position, estimated speed, and estimated speed electromotive force of the synchronous motor. By supplying a motor current of a predetermined pattern when the synchronous motor begins to be driven, the rotor of the synchronous motor is set in a default position. The default position is used as an initial value of an estimated position.
