Abstract

A drive signal generation circuit (1) generates drive signals SDH, SDL for controlling ON / OFF of a transistor of an H-bridge circuit (110) in accordance with a torque target value. According to the drive signals SDH, SDL outputted from the drive signal generation circuit (1), a driver circuit (3) alternately turns ON / OFF a high-side transistor MH and a low-side transistor ML of the H-bridge circuit (110). When a motor stop is instructed, the driver circuit (3) immediately turns off the high-side transistor MH1, MH2 and turns off the low-side transistor ML1, ML2 with a predetermined delay timetd.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to motor drive technology. Background technique [0002] 1. With the high speed of personal computers and workstations in recent years, LSI (Large Scale Integration circuit: large-scale integration) is used for calculation processing such as CPU (Central Processing Unit: Central Processing Unit) and DSP (Digital Signal Processor: Digital Signal Processor) Circuit) the speed of action continues to increase. [0003] In such an LSI, as the operation speed, that is, the clock frequency becomes higher, the amount of heat generated increases accordingly. There is a problem of thermal runaway of the LSI itself due to heat generated by the LSI or influence on surrounding circuits. Therefore, proper thermal cooling of LSI is becoming an extremely important technology. [0004] As an example of a technique for cooling an LSI, there is an air cooling method using a cooling fan. In this method, for example, a cooling fan is provided faci...
