<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize a device, to reduce components, a mounting area and cost in a motor drive device such as a washing machine where a plurality of motors are driven by an inverter circuit. <P>SOLUTION: Motor current is detected by a shunt resistor and a current detection IC provided with a differential amplifier circuit to which negative voltage can be inputted and which can switch an amplification rate. A load relay and the amplification rate of the current detection IC are switched in accordance with the motor which a control means drives so as to perform motor control. Thus, a current detecting means can be miniaturized and it is not necessary to mount the current detecting means for every motor. Thus, the device can be miniaturized, the components can be reduced and cost can also be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
