Abstract
The present invention provides a motor driving method, a battery pack, and a semiconductor device capable of variable-controlling a bus voltage from a battery pack. A battery pack outputting a bus voltage to a positive voltage node using a negative voltage node as a reference, an inverter unit converting the bus voltage to AC voltage by switching according to a PWM signal and driving a motor, and a motor control unit generating the PWM signal are used. The motor control unit outputs a voltage instruction signal for instructing the bus voltage toward the battery pack. The battery pack variable-controls the number of cells coupled in parallel between the positive voltage node and the negative voltage node so as to obtain the bus voltage according to the voltage instruction signal.
