Abstract
A sensor module includes: a sensor device; a first timer that counts a first time which is a time of one cycle of a trigger signal input from an outside; a trigger processing portion that determines a second time shorter than the first time based on a count value of the first time counted by the first timer, and generates a timing signal each time the second time elapses in synchronization with the trigger signal; and a sampling processing portion that performs arithmetic processing by sampling a signal output from the sensor device in synchronization with the timing signal.

A sensor module comprising:
- a sensor device;
- a first timer that counts a first time which is a time of one cycle of a trigger signal input from an outside;
- a trigger processing portion that determines a second time shorter than the first time based on a count value of the first time counted by the first timer, and generates a timing signal each time the second time elapses in synchronization with the trigger signal;
- and
- a sampling processing portion that performs arithmetic processing by sampling a signal output from the sensor device in synchronization with the timing signal.
