Abstract: A motor driving circuit controls a driving of a motor based on communications with an external microcomputer. The motor driving circuit includes an AD converter that A/D converts an analog signal responsive to a motor current flowing through the motor and outputs a first digital signal resulting from the A/D conversion. The motor driving circuit includes a number-of-revolutions information producing circuit that outputs a second digital signal responsive to the number of revolutions of the motor based on the first digital signal output from the AD converter. The motor driving circuit includes an input/output circuit that outputs the second digital signal to the microcomputer. The number-of-revolutions information producing circuit sets a period of the second digital signal at a value associated with the number of revolutions of the motor and sets a duty cycle of the second digital signal at a value associated with information on the driving of the motor.
