Motor control apparatus equipped with delta-sigma modulation ad converter

A motor control apparatus comprising:

• a power conversion unit which supplies drive power to a motor;
• a current detection unit which detects the value of a current flowing from said power conversion unit to said motor;
• a delta-sigma modulation AD converter comprising a modulator, which outputs a bitstream signal by delta-sigma modulating input analog data, and a plurality of digital low-pass filters, each having a unique filter characteristic, which are connected in parallel to each other and are connected in series to said modulator, and which output digital data by respectively filtering out quantization noise contained in said bitstream signal output from said modulator in accordance with said unique filter characteristics, wherein said current value detected by said current detection unit is input as said analog data, and said digital data filtered respectively with said unique filter characteristics are output;
• and
• a command generating unit which is connected to said digital low-pass filter to be used for motor drive control among said plurality of digital low-pass filters, and which generates, using said digital data output from said motor drive controlling digital low-pass filter, a drive command for commanding said power conversion unit to output commanded drive power.
