Zusammenfassung:This invention provides a multiphase motor driving device capable of detecting ON failure of switching elements (Q2, Q4, Q6) on the lower side in an inverter circuit (3). The detection timing of the current flowing to a shunt resistor (Ru) of a U-phase is shifted from an OFF period to an ON period of a switching element Q1 on an upper side in the U-phase, and whether or not ON failure occurred in the switching element Q2 on the lower side is determined based on the current flowing to the shunt resistor (Ru) of the U-phase in the ON period. If the detection timing is simply shifted, the U-phase current that is necessary under normal circumstances may not be detected in the ON period of the switching element Q2 on the lower side, and thus the current value of the U-phase current is estimated based on the currents flowing to the shunt resistors (Rv, Rw) of the other two phases (V-phase, W-phase).
