    摘要: Magnetoresistive elements are disposed facing a gear to form a sensor for detecting rotation of the gear. The signal output from MRE sensor is an alternating amplitude signal. An operational amplifier has a differential gain exceeding its operational limit relative to the amplitude value of the sensor signal, and it amplifies and outputs the difference between the sensor signal and a reference voltage. Comparators judge whether an output of the operational amplifier is within a predetermined amplitude range relative to the amplitude center thereof. When the op-amp output deviates from the predetermined amplitude range, transistors either charge or discharge a capacitor, so that the reference voltage can be changed closer to the output of the operational amplifier. Another comparator compares the output signal of the operational amplifier with a threshold value to output a binary-valued signal.

    摘要: A position detector which provides improved reference position detecting precision by stabilizing the output signal from magnetoelectric transducers in a reference position part. A rotor has a magnetized surface alternately provided with different magnetic poles and a reference positional part in which magnetic poles provided on the magnetized surface are partly omitted. A rotational angle sensor has MR elements laid out thereon in opposition to the magnetized surface of the rotor to output the voltage signal VS according to the magnetic field intensity in the magnetized surface due to the rotation of the rotor. A waveform processing circuit and a pulse signal processing signal shape the waveform of the voltage signal from the rotational angle sensor, and also generate the rotational angle pulse signal and a reference position pulse signal according to the waveform reforming signal. The reference positional part is arranged so that the magnetic field intensity therein can be within the saturation magnetic field region of the Mr elements.

    摘要: A magnetic detector which is small in size and is capable of preventing the occurrence of deformation in the waveform representing a change in the resistance. A bias magnet 2 is adhered to the support plate 1. A bias magnetic field is generated by the bias magnet 2 toward a gear 7. A substrate 3 is adhered onto the support plate 1, and magneto resistance elements are formed on the substrate 3 by vacuum evaporation. The magneto resistance elements are disposed in parallel with the magnetized surface of the bias magnet 2. The magneto resistance elements are disposed being tilted by about 45 degrees with respect to a vector that is in parallel with the N-pole surface of the bias magnet 2 in the bias magnetic field and is directed toward the outer peripheral edge. Due to the revolution of the gear 7, a change in the resistance takes place in the magneto resistance elements due to a change in the vector which is parallel with the N-pole surface of the bias magnet 2 in the bias magnetic field generated by the bias magnet 2 towards gear 7 and is directed toward the outer peripheral edge.

    摘要: In a PWM communication system, a sensor unit transmits as reference pulses transmission signals, which exhibit duty cycles of 100% and 0%, respectively, prior to transmission of a transmission signal, which has data items compressed thereinto by a signal processing circuit. An input capture circuit of an ECU measures the duty time and the PWM cycle of the transmission signal according to a timer clock of a timer circuit. A signal processing circuit of the ECU produces a duty cycle correction factor k based on the measured duty times and PWM cycles of the reference pulses, produces receiving data based on the duty time and the PWM cycle of the transmission signal, and the duty cycle correction factor, and separates the receiving data into sensor output values of a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor.

    摘要: A peak voltage detector circuit detects a peak voltage of an input voltage. The input voltage is input into a first input terminal of a comparator. A counter circuit counts up a counter value in synchronization with a first clock signal, when a signal output from the comparator is in a first state. The counter circuit counts down the counter value in synchronization with a second clock signal. A digital-analog conversion circuit outputs an output voltage corresponding to the counter value, and the output voltage is input into a second input terminal of the comparator. The first clock signal has a wave period shorter than that of the second clock signal.

    摘要: An infrared gas detector includes an infrared light source emitting infrared light of a specific wavelength, an infrared sensor detecting the infrared light from the infrared light source, and a gas cell accommodating the infrared light source and the infrared sensor. The infrared light source contains an LED or a semiconductor laser. Since the wavelength of the infrared light from the infrared light source is specific, the energy efficiency is high. The LED and the semiconductor laser are small devices, and therefore, the infrared light source and the infrared sensor are easily accommodated in the same small package.

    摘要: An N-type epitaxial layer is formed on a p-type silicon substrate. Four N+ regions (diffusion regions used as electrodes) are formed in the N-type epitaxial layer. An insulation layer having a fixed depth is formed around each of the N+ regions on a principal surface of an epitaxial layer. The insulation layer restricts a current path region formed between the N+ regions. Side surfaces of the N+ regions are covered by the insulation layer. The N+ regions are brought into contact with the epitaxial layer by a bottom surface exposed from the insulation layer.
