    Abstract: The apparatus comprises a parallel analog-to-digital converter comprising a matrix of differentially coupled transistor pairs wherein the base of one transistor of each differential pair is coupled to a reference voltage and the base of the other transistor of each differential pair is coupled to the input voltage through a specified offset. In each row of differential pairs, the collectors of the transistors are alternately coupled to first and second row output points. The first and second row output points of each row are coupled to the inverting and non-inverting inputs, respectively of a comparator. Additional comparators are provided for comparing the second row output of each row with the first row output of the succeeding row. The matrix is arranged such that the combination of the comparator outputs is unique for each possible digital level in the full scale range of the converter. Logic circuitry is coupled to the comparator outputs to produce a computer usable code therefrom.

    Abstract: There are provided a method and an apparatus for absolute position detection, in which position detection is performed with high accuracy by interpolation between feedback pulses generated as an object of position detection moves, and the power-on command displacement can be calculated with high accuracy, the method and the apparatus entailing only small electric power consumption. A stored value in an absolute counter (2), which is indicative of an approximate absolute position of an object of position detection, is updated each time a feedback pulse is generated from a feedback pulse generating circuit (1), and is retentively stored in the counter even after the power is turned off. As the object of position detection moves, moreover, the count value of interpolation pulses, generated during the time interval which elapses from the instant that the power is turned on again until the first one of the feedback pulses is generated, is temporarily stored in a correction counter (5). The power-on absolute position of the object of position detection is calculated by means of a numerical control unit (20), in accordance with the stored value, the count value, and the moving direction designated by a movement command delivered when the power is turned on. Further, the apparatus calculates the command displacement on the basis of the calculated absolute position and a command target position.

    Abstract: In a position encoder an interpolator derives from quadrature input signals a series of sine waves equispaced in phase. These are applied to respective comparators which output a binary zero or a binary one according to whether the respective sine wave is above or below the zero crossing point. Interpolation is achieved by identifying an adjacent pair of said sine waves of which one has a value above and the other a value below zero and a counter stores a number indicative of this pair of signals.
