  • Patent number: 10807640
    Abstract: A motor control apparatus of a motor driven power steering (MDPS) system may include: a steering logic controller configured to calculate a current command value for motor control, and transmit the current command value; a current measurement sensor configured to measure a current applied to the motor; and a controller configured to calculate a motor position increment based on the current command value received from the steering logic controller, the measured current value received from the current measurement sensor, and previously stored motor parameters, estimate a current motor position by integrating the calculated motor position increments, and control the motor using the estimated current motor position.
