Abstract
A motor drive control device is configured to control driving of a brushless DC motor including a stator having drive coils, a rotor having plural magnetic poles, and plural position detecting units that output position detection signals representing position of the rotor with respect to the stator. The motor drive control device includes a drive voltage generating unit configured to generate and output drive voltages to the motor to drive the motor. An abnormality detecting unit can be used to detect abnormality of the position detection signals. When abnormality of at least one of the position detection signals has been detected by the abnormality detecting unit, the motor drive control device can drive the motor based on at least one of the remaining position detection signals excluding the position detection signal that has been detected as abnormal.
