Motor driving apparatus capable of driving motor with reliability
First Claim
1. A motor driving apparatus, comprisinga first power source that outputs a first DC voltage,a driving circuit receiving the first DC voltage as a supply of electric power from said first power source and driving a motor using the first DC voltage,a second power source charged by receiving a second DC voltage lower than the first DC voltage output from said first power source,a voltage converter converting said first DC voltage to said second DC voltage between said first power source and said second power source, anda converter control circuit controlling said voltage converter;
- whereinsaid converter control circuit is directly connected to said first power source and operates using said first DC voltage as a power supply voltage.

Abstract
DC/DC converter is connected directly to a main battery with no system relays intervening therebetween. The DC/DC converter drops and then supplies the voltage of a power supplied from the high voltage main battery to a subsidiary battery. A DC/DC converter control circuit receives a supply of the power from the main battery to control the dropping operation of the DC/DC converter. Even when the subsidiary battery goes dead, the DC/DC converter is responsive to a control signal outputted from the DC/DC converter control circuit using, as its power supply, the main battery, to perform a boosting operation, thereby quickly charging the subsidiary battery.
