Abstract:
The present invention provides an outdoor unit for an air conditioner that can be constructed at low cost while reducing risk of malfunction. The outdoor unit has a compressor; a fan motor; a compressor driver board having a compressor inverter circuit and a compressor driver circuit; and a fan driver board having a fan inverter circuit and fan driver circuit. The compressor driver board has at least either: a shared control circuit that feeds a first switching signal for a compressor to the compressor driver circuit and feeds a second switching signal for a fan to the fan driver circuit; or a shared power source circuit that steps down a first DC voltage to a second DC voltage and supplies the second DC voltage to the compressor driver circuit and to the fan driver circuit.

Claim (Index 3):
The outdoor unit according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a rectifier circuit that rectifies an AC voltage inputted; and a smoothing capacitor that smoothes a voltage outputted from the rectifier circuit and provides the smoothed voltage as the first DC voltage, wherein the compressor driver board and the fan driver board are disposed adjacent to the smoothing capacitor such as to surround the smoothing capacitor.
