Abstract

A motor control device includes: a rotational position calculator that calculates a rotational position of a motor that rotates a rotor; an operation state controller that controls a state of supply of operation power to the rotational position calculator; a deviation calculator that calculates a deviation of a rotational position of the rotor on the basis of a stop target rotational position of the rotor and the rotational position of the rotor after supply of a drive current to a coil is stopped and before supply of operation power to the rotational position calculator is stopped; a storage controller that stores the deviation on a storage; a rotational position control signal generator that generates a rotational position control signal for controlling the rotational position of the rotor on the basis of the deviation stored on the storage and the stop target rotational position of the rotor; and a drive current output unit that outputs the drive current to the coil on the basis of the rotational position control signal after supply of operation power to the rotational position calculator is restarted by the operation state controller.
