Abstract
A rotating field sensor includes four detection circuits each of which generates an output signal responsive to the direction of a rotating magnetic field, and an angle calculation unit configured to calculate four angle values in correspondence to four groups each consisting of two detection circuits selected from the four detection circuits. The angle calculation unit calculates each of the four angle values on the basis of two output signals of the two detection circuits constituting a corresponding one of the four groups.
