ABSTRACT:
A reference signal generation unit generates a reference signal VCA showing a current limit value with a staircase waveform. A PWM control unit compares a measurement signal SENA obtained by a coil current measurement unit with the reference signal VCA at intervals of a PWM timing signal generated by a PWM timing signal generation unit, and switches transistors of a bridge rectification circuit ON and OFF according to the comparison, thereby PWM controlling a supply current to a coil. A discharge instruction signal generation unit issues a discharge instruction signal MMCPA when the reference signal VCA decreases. In response, a PWM control unit forms a current path in the bridge rectification circuit to cause a regenerative current to flow back into a power supply and capacitor.
