The present invention provides a PWM control device wherein a
microprocessor detects the rotational position of rotor of a brushless
motor with respect to the amount of each current supplied from an
inverter circuit for driving the brushless motor to the brushless motor
and outputting of a PWM signal through the use of its detected signal to
thereby perform PWM control. Upon startup of the brushless motor under
the PWM control, the pulse width of the PWM signal is enlarged during
interrupt processing including a process for detecting the rotational
position of rotor of the brushless motor, and the pulse width of the PWM
signal is progressively enlarged according to the repetition of the
interrupt processing. It is thus possible to easily suppress an overshoot
current with respect to the current supplied to the motor upon startup of
the motor.
