    摘要: A time period of an event is determined by charging a known value capacitor from a constant current source during the event. The resultant voltage on the capacitor is proportional to the event time period and may be calculated from the resultant voltage and known capacitance value. Capacitance is measured by charging a capacitor from a constant current source during a known time period. The resultant voltage on the capacitor is proportional to the capacitance thereof and may be calculated from the resultant voltage and known time period. A long time period event may be measured by charging a first capacitor at the start of the event and a second capacitor at the end of the event, while counting clock times therebetween. Delay of an event is done by charging voltages on first and second capacitors at beginning and end of event, while comparing voltages thereon with a reference voltage.

    摘要: An identification method is an identification method for use in an identification apparatus that identifies types of brushless DC motors each including a circuit board on which a terminal for tachometer is mounted. The duty ratios of pulses outputted from the terminals for tachometer vary among multiple types of brushless DC motors. The identification method includes: supplying a power supply voltage from the identification apparatus to a brushless DC motor; inputting pulses outputted from the terminal for tachometer of the circuit board to the identification apparatus; obtaining the duty ratio of the pulses as a unique information piece of the brushless DC motor; and identifying the type of the brushless DC motor based on the unique information piece of the brushless DC motor.

    摘要: A digital sensing apparatus includes a sensing unit capable of providing a sensing response associated with an environmental parameter, and a digital readout module including a reading unit for generating a pulse signal having a pulse width as sociated with the sensing response, and a converting unit. The converting unit includes a clock signal generator for generating a variable-frequency clock signal, and a counter operable to count a width value of the pulse width of the pulse signal using the clock signal, so as to generate a digital sensing code. The frequency of the clock signal from the clock signal generator is adjustable to adjust resolution of the width value of the pulse width of the pulse signal.
