An ECU outputs a signal indicative of a target motor speed calculated
based on a deviation between a target camshaft phase and an actual
camshaft phase to an EDU. The EDU performs a feedback control of the
output current (motor current) of the EDU so that the deviation is
decreased, whereby an actual camshaft phase is feedbacked to a target
camshaft phase. When the supply voltage of EDU is less than the operation
limit voltage established higher than minimum operation assurance
voltage, the variation of the target motor speed is restricted. Thereby,
the output current of EDU is restricted, and further, when the supply
voltage is less than minimum operation assurance voltage, the output
current of EDU is intercepted.
