    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 associated 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.

In a first embodiment, a clock signal (CLOCK) is supplied as a first counting signal (18) to a first counter (16), which is reset by the appearance of a predetermined edge (31) of the first input signal (S1). This embodiment permits phase measurement values in the range between zero and 360.degree. to be generated at a high measurement rate. In second and third embodiments, which are preferably connected and, if desired, combined with the first embodiment, second and third switching signals (FORWARD, BACK) are generated from the digital input signals (S1, S2) and are supplied to a forward-backward counter (20). The second and third embodiments are suited for determining phase differences between the two digital input signals (S1, S2) which are multiples of 360.degree.. The device in accordance with the invention is particularly suited for evaluating the phase difference which occurs between the output signals from two photoelectric detectors used in a heterodyne interferometer.

    摘要: A digital phase comparator measures the phase difference of two signals (S1, S3) from a third signal (S2), and calculates the difference. The zero crossing of the two signals respectively sets two flip-flops (11, 12). If both flip-flops are set, they are simultaneously reset with a delay. Each set flip-flop enables a corresponding counter (13, 14). An evaluation unit averages the counter outputs at major intervals. The phase comparator can be incorporated into a phase-locked loop.

    摘要: A pulse phase difference encoding circuit provides a digital signal indicating a phase difference between a first input pulse and a second input pulse. The first input pulse is provided to and circulated in a ring signal delay circuit having a plurality of signal delay elements that are connected in series. Intermediate points between the delay elements provide delayed pulses having different delay times. Upon receiving the second input pulse, a selector selects one delay pulse provided by the delay element at which the first input pulse has arrived, and generates a digital positional signal indicating a position of the selected delay element. The number of rounds of circulation of the first input pulse in the ring signal delay circuit is separately counted. According to the number of rounds of circulation of the first pulse and the positional signal, the digital signal indicating the phase difference between the first and second input pulses is formed.

    摘要: A tracking sample and hold phase detector operating as an error sampled feedback loop which takes signal samples during successive periods of an input signal with a sampling gate, holds the signal sample in a storage gate, and feeds back the sample to the sampling gate to allow the bias of the sampling gate to track the input signal level, thereby maintaining balance of the tracking circuit. A fast comparator detects the zero crossing level of the downconverted signal which is comprised of successive signal sample steps and has the shape of the input signal. The sampling gate comprises a diode bridge enabled by a balanced strobe, the input signal and the strobe being close or equal in frequency, the frequency of the downconverted signal being the difference frequency.

    摘要: A digital phase and frequency comparator circuit establishes phase and frequency windows to determine if two AC signals are in phase and of substantially the same frequency. A phase difference between the two signals is determined by exclusively ORing the two signals and timing the duration of a signal state to determine if the phase difference exceeds a threshold. The two AC signals are also ANDed and counted to determine the frequency agreement.

    摘要: The invention relates to a digital phase detector for use with a phase-locked loop (PLL) system, to which there is fed a reference signal and a comparison signal and which, in accordance with the phase difference transmits an output signal for controlling a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). In conventional types of phase detectors there exists the danger that subsequently to a failure or interruption of the reference signal, the phase detector in certain cases controls the phase difference, following the restarting, not to zero but to 2.pi.. In order to prevent this, the invention proposes the phase detector to be preceded by a correction circuit delaying the switching of the signals to the phase detector, following the restarting of the reference signal, in such a way that the trailing edge of the reference signal is applied to the phase detector either simultaneously with or with a time delay after the trailing edge of the comparison signal. In this way, independently of the phase difference, and subsequently to the restarting of the reference signal, it is safeguarded that the phase difference is controlled to zero.
