More Information
Summary:An inverter circuit is provided for a plurality of coils and includes switching elements forming switching element pairs in correspondence to each phase of the coils. Current detection sensors detect currents flowing low-side FETs, respectively. A control circuit has a failure detection section, which detects arm short-circuit failure of the element pairs based on current values detected by the current detection sensors at timing when one or the other of all the low-side FETs and all the high-side FETs are turned on and turned off, respectively.
