ABSTRACT:
A motor driver drives a motor composed of a rotor and plural-phase windings that generate a magnetic field for rotating the rotor, including: a plurality of transistors that operate as switches for supplying current to the windings; a position detector operable to detect a rotational position of the rotor, based on a terminal voltage of each winding; and a switching controller operable to have performed a switching method to turn the transistors to an ON state or to an OFF state for controlling the rotor at the predetermined speed by means of the position detector, wherein the switching controller further controls so as to force each of the transistors into the OFF state for a predetermined duration in a predetermined cycle, and the position detector detects only while the switching controller forcedly keeps the transistor in the OFF state.
