    Abstract: A drive system according to an aspect of an embodiment includes a rotor phase detection unit, a phase estimation unit, a phase error adjustment unit, and a drive control unit. The rotor phase detection unit detects a phase of a rotor of a synchronous motor and outputs phase information indicating the detected phase. The phase estimation unit generates an initial phase command of defining a position of the rotor of the synchronous motor by using a correction amount for correcting a phase error. The phase error adjustment unit generates the correction amount for adjusting a phase error of an initial magnetic pole position of the synchronous motor by using a phase error of the initial phase command at a timing defined by the phase information. The drive control unit controls the driving of the synchronous motor by using the initial phase command obtained by adjusting the phase error.

    Abstract: A motor driver using a correcting mechanism on a sensed motor position is provided. A rotor position detector circuit senses a position of a rotor of a motor to output a commutation signal. A back electromotive force detector circuit detects a back electromotive force signal of the motor. An actual phase difference calculator circuit calculates a phase difference between the back electromotive force signal and the commutation signal as an actual phase difference. An error phase angle calculator circuit calculates a difference between the actual phase difference and a reference phase difference as an error phase angle. A motor driving circuit corrects the commutation signal according to the error phase angle. The motor driving circuit determines the position of the rotor of the motor to drive the motor according to the corrected commutation signal.
