Abstract
A digital calculation apparatus 4 including a position-detection means 14 for detecting the magnetic pole position, based on the detected current difference values of the synchronous motor 1 in a two-phase short-circuit state, takes in current flowing in the synchronous motor by generating an interruption trigger signal in synchronization with the PWM signals for driving an inverter 3, and driving an A/D converter with the generated trigger signal.
