  • Patent number: 10833477
    Abstract: In a drive unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in each of a plurality of current pulses, a rising crest value is the largest, and after the rising, the crest value is damped. Further, a rising crest value of a pulse of an n+1-th wave is smaller than a rising crest value of a pulse of an n-th wave. Furthermore, rising crest values of the current pulses of a second wave and waves after the second wave are determined by a mathematical function expressed as an electric potential change caused by ON-OFF of an RC time constant circuit that is single-end grounded. Moreover, in the mathematical function, a time constant at an OFF time is larger than a time constant at an ON time.
