In a driving device for a rotating electric machine, a first inverter unit blocks and allows, for each winding of multi-phase windings of the rotating electric machine, current conduction on one side of the winding and a second inverter unit blocks and allows current conduction on the other side of the winding. A plurality of second switching elements forming the second inverter unit each have a lower ON resistance than a plurality of first switching elements forming the first inverter unit. A controller is configured to switch on and off the respective first switching elements at a switching frequency higher than an electric fundamental frequency and switch on and off the respective second switching elements at a switching frequency lower than the switching frequency at which to switch on and off the first switching elements.
