Abstract

An offset of an output voltage of a magnetic sensor caused by an external magnetic field is removed. A motor according to a disclosed embodiment includes: a first magnetic sensor that detects a rotational position of a rotor; a second magnetic sensor arranged at a position shifted by π/N in a rotation direction of the rotor with respect to the first magnetic sensor when the number of pole pairs is N; a signal amplifier that amplifies a difference between a first signal which is a signal output from the first magnetic sensor and a second signal which is a signal output from the second magnetic sensor; and a pulse signal generation unit that converts an output signal of the signal amplifier into a pulse signal.
