  • Patent number: 11641174
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a motor driving device capable of inhibiting unstable driving of a motor even in the occurrence of a sudden fluctuation of a power supply voltage. The motor driving device includes a power supply voltage sudden fluctuation detector, a power supply voltage fluctuation width generator and a current limit value setting unit. The power supply voltage sudden fluctuation detector detects a sudden fluctuation in a direction in which the power supply voltage rises. The power supply voltage fluctuation width generator detects a fluctuation width of the power supply voltage. When the sudden fluctuation is detected by the power supply voltage sudden fluctuation detection unit, a current limit value of the current limit value setting unit is reduced from a normal value and corrected by the correction width corresponding to the fluctuation width of the detected power supply voltage.
