Motor driving control device and motor driving control method

Abstract

A motor driving control device has a motor driving unit configured to selectively energize coils with a plurality of phases of a motor, a control circuit unit configured to control an operation of the motor driving unit by outputting a driving control signal to the motor driving unit, and a position detector configured to output a position signal which corresponds to any one phase of the plurality of phases and a phase of which changes depending on a position of a rotor of the motor. the control circuit unit detects a transition of values of a back electromotive force induced in the one phase in a detection period corresponding to a change timing of the position signal when beginning to start up the motor, and determines a rotational state of the motor including a rotational direction of the motor based on a detection result of the transition of the values of the back electromotive force.
