    Abstract: The displacement detector is configured to receive a transmission signal output from a transmission signal output unit by a reception electrode disposed in a detection head to detect a displacement between the detection head and a scale based on the received signal. The transmission signal is transmitted from a transmission electrode disposed in the detection head to the reception electrode through a coupling electrode disposed in the scale. Phase adjustment units generates a signal whose phase is adjusted from the transmission signal output from the transmission signal output unit. An amplitude adjustment unit adjusts an amplitude of the signal whose phase is adjusted by the phase adjustment unit to generate a crosstalk correction signal. A demodulation unit samples a signal generated by synthesizing the crosstalk correction signal and the received signal and to demodulate the sampled signal.

    Abstract: A reference voltage generator circuit generates a reference voltage corresponding to a power supply voltage. A current/voltage converter circuit converts a photocurrent output by a photoreceiver into voltage, and outputs a voltage obtained by adding the converted voltage and the reference voltage. A sample and hold circuit holds a voltage of a capacitor in response to a sample and hold signal, the capacitor having the voltage input at one end and the reference voltage input at another end. An amplifier circuit outputs an output signal where a voltage held by the sample and hold circuit is amplified with the reference voltage as a reference.

    Abstract: An encoder includes a light source. A booster circuit boosts a power supply voltage output by a battery, and outputs the boosted voltage. The voltage is applied to one end of a light-emitting diode. A driver circuit is inserted between another end of the light-emitting diode and a ground, the driver circuit controlling current flowing through the light-emitting diode. A voltage detector circuit detects a voltage between the light-emitting diode and the driver circuit. A control circuit causes the booster circuit to boost the power supply voltage when the voltage is lower than the power supply voltage; stops the boosting performed by the booster circuit when the voltage is equal to the power supply voltage; and controls the driver circuit such that, after the voltage reaches a predetermined value, current flows to the light-emitting diode.
