Abstract: An increase in noise can be suppressed. A motor control device includes N inverters configured to control N motors connected via power cables based on PWM signals, respectively, and a phase controller configured to determine phases of N carrier signals to be used for generating PWM signals to be supplied to the N inverters so that a sum of N vectors represented by noise amounts related to the respective N motors becomes zero.

Abstract: A data acquisition method of acquiring and latching data with a timing based on an input signal supplied to an input port, the method including: acquiring and retaining the data with a timing of when an edge of the input signal is detected, and starting a timer; and at the time of expiration of the timer, if the level of the input signal is a first level that is unchanged from start of the timer, latching the retained data and if the level of the input signal is a second level that is changed from the start of the timer, discarding the retained data.
