CURRENT DETECTION CIRCUIT UNAFFECTED BY NOISE

摘要

A current detection circuit includes a first resistor and a second resistor identical in current path and equal in resistance value, a first and second signal transmission units which transmit respectively a signal representing the potential of the first resistor, a third and fourth signal transmission units which transmit respectively a signal representing the potential of the second resistor, a first difference operation unit which calculates the difference between the respective signals from the first and second signal transmission units, a second difference operation unit which calculates the difference between the respective signals from the third and fourth signal transmission units, and a summing unit which sums the signals output from the first and second difference operation units. The first signal transmission unit and the fourth signal transmission unit, and the second signal transmission unit and the third signal transmission unit are disposed in proximity to each other.

1. A current detection circuit which detects a current flowing through a current path in a motor driving device, the circuit comprising:
a first resistor and a second resistor located in an identical current path and have equal resistance values; a first signal transmission unit which transmits a signal representing a potential on a first terminal side of the first resistor; a second signal transmission unit which transmits a signal representing a potential on a second terminal side of the first resistor; a third signal transmission unit which transmits a signal representing a potential on a first terminal side of the second resistor; a fourth signal transmission unit which transmits a signal representing a potential on a second terminal side of the second resistor; a first difference operation unit which calculates a difference between the signal transmitted by the first signal transmission unit and the signal transmitted by the second signal transmission unit to obtain a first differential signal; a second difference operation unit which calculates a difference between the signal transmitted by the third signal transmission unit and the signal transmitted by the fourth signal transmission unit to obtain a second differential signal; and a summing unit which sums the first differential signal and the second differential signal to obtain a summation signal, wherein the first signal transmission unit and the fourth signal transmission unit are disposed in proximity to each other, and the second signal transmission unit and the third signal transmission unit are disposed in proximity to each other.
