Abstract:
A motor driving apparatus for constant-current control of a current of a coil of a motor includes a detector detecting the current, and a controller for controlling every first cycle to feed the coil until the current reaches a target value, and to decay the current after the current reaches the target value. The controller selects, every second cycle shorter than the first cycle, between decaying the current in a first mode and decaying the current in a second mode, in which a decay rate is lower than the first mode. In addition, the controller decays the current in the first mode when the current is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, and decays the current in the second mode when the current is lower than the predetermined threshold.
