Abstract:
A motor control apparatus that performs a drive control of a motor includes a current detector configured to detect a driving current flowing in a winding of the motor, a calculator configured to calculate an estimated value indicating a rotational position of a rotor of the motor by an estimation computation based on a value of the driving current detected by the current detector, and a corrector configured to correct the estimated value of the rotational position based on a rotation amount of the rotor in a predetermined period from a start of the estimation computation by the calculator until completion of the estimation computation. In addition, a controller controls the driving current flowing in the winding of the motor so that a deviation between the estimated value corrected by the corrector and an instructed value indicating a target position of the rotor is reduced.
