PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent excess high temperature of a CPU caused by heat generation of a drive circuit so as to stabilize control operation by an actuator, in an actuator drive unit in which the drive circuit and a control circuit (CPU) are integrally housed. SOLUTION: The actuator drive unit 30 comprises: drive elements 41 supplying operating energy of the actuator 10; the CPU 50 controlling the drive elements 41; and a temperature sensor 60 detecting the temperature of the CPU. When the CPU temperature is increased, an operation mode of the actuator drive unit 30 is set to be a power-saving mode in which consumption energy in the actuator 10 is reduced compared with that in normal times. The operation mode set by the CPU 50 is transmitted to an ECU 20 generating an operation command of the actuator, through a transmission path 55. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
