Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

When a motor drive control device is integrated in a semiconductor integrated circuit having a small chip area, calibration for improving the accuracy of detection of a counter electromotive voltage, which is for detecting the speed of a motor, is enabled. A first multiplier performs multiplication between a drive current detection signal and first gain information in a first register. A subtractor performs subtraction between a drive voltage command signal and a first multiplication result in the first multiplier. A second multiplier performs multiplication between a subtraction result in the subtractor and second gain information in a second register to generate counter electromotive voltage information as information on a second multiplication result. The drive voltage command signal in a control unit is set to a predetermined value to generate a condition which maintains the speed of the motor and a counter electromotive voltage at substantially zero.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A motor drive control device, comprising: a digital control unit; a digital/analog converter; a driver output unit; a drive current detection amplifier; an analog/digital converter; and a counter electromotive voltage detection unit, wherein, to an output terminal of the driver output unit, a series coupling between a motor and a detection resistor is allowed to be coupled, wherein the digital control unit generates and supplies a digital drive…
