Motor driving circuit

Abstract

According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a motor driving circuit includes a phase detection circuit configured to detect a rotation phase of a motor and output a phase detection signal, a first amplifier configured to amplify the phase detection signal and output an amplified detection signal, and a second amplifier configured to amplify the amplified detection signal in accordance with a power supply voltage and output a driving signal to the motor. The motor driving circuit is further provided with a controlling circuit configured to detect the power supply voltage and increase/decrease amplitude of the amplified detection signal outputted from the first amplifier in response to an increase/decrease of the detected power supply voltage, whereby heat generation and noise generation can be restrained, irrespective of the increase/decrease of the power supply voltage.
