Abstract

An energization control circuit compares a target rotation direction of a motor and an actual rotation direction of a motor detected based on rotation detection sensors. If the compared rotation directions are in disagreement, the energization control circuit switches over an inverter control mode from 120-degree energization to 180-degree energization to extend an on-period of a high-side switching element of an inverter circuit to an advance phase side. Thus, the high-side switching element is turned on, when a low-side switching element of the same phase is in a turned-off state. A free-wheeling current is allowed to flow through the high-side switching element rather than through a free-wheeling diode of the high-side switching element.
