A motor driving device and an air conditioner including the same are disclosed. The disclosed motor driving device includes a multi-level converter to receive AC power, thereby outputting multi-level power, the multi-level converter including plural diodes and plural switching elements, plural capacitors for storing the multi-level power from the multi-level converter, and a gate drive signal generator to generate gate drive signals for the switching elements of the multi-level converter. The gate drive signal generator includes a gate drive power source to supply a gate drive voltage, a gate driver to generate the gate drive signals, using the gate drive voltage, a gate capacitor connected to both terminals of the gate driver, and a gate switching element connected between one end of the gate capacitor and one end of one of the plural capacitors. Accordingly, gate drive signals for the multi-level converter can be generated. |
