Abstract
An electric power steering apparatus has a rotation detection device for calculating an absolute angle that includes a sensor section that detects a rotation of a motor and outputs a mechanical angle and a count value. The rotation detection device also includes a signal acquisition unit that obtains the mechanical angle and the count value from the sensor section, and an absolute angle calculator that calculates an absolute angle based on the mechanical angle and the count value. Where one rotation of the motor is divided into indefinite regions and definite regions, the absolute angle calculator uses the count value from the definite regions to calculate the absolute angle.
