Abstract
A motor module includes a motor and a rotation angle detector including a rotation angle calculator that calculates a rotation angle based on a voltage and an electric current of the motor, a first signal generator that generates a first signal based on a ripple component included in the electric current, an operation part that corrects the rotation angle based on the first signal and the rotation angle, and a rotation information calculator that calculates information on rotation of the motor based on an output from the operation part. The operation part outputs, to the rotation angle calculator, a command to correct the rotation angle when the first signal is generated for the first time while the rotation angle is within a predetermined angle range, and ignores the first signal that is generated for the second or subsequent time while the rotation angle is within the predetermined angle range.
