Abstract

A servo device for servo controlling a spindle motor according to the invention, comprising: a unit for generating a signal with at least two cycles during one full rotation of a rotator in the spindle motor in accordance with a rotational movement of the rotator; a unit for measuring a time required for each of the two periods; a unit for storing at least two target time corresponding to the two periods respectively; and a speed controlling unit for controlling a rotational speed of the rotator at the basis of the comparison between the respective measured period and the corresponding target period. Therefore, a current error of the measurement of periods are associated with the time of half the period preceding the current period, thereby the detection with the reduced delay can be performed in comparison with the detection at the time of one half rotation.
