ABSTRACT:
A rotation detecting device includes a rotary member having teeth, a biasing magnet, a magnetic sensor unit and a differential amplifier circuit for providing an output signal Vd. The sensor unit includes four bridge circuits of magnetoresistive elements that provide voltage signals V1, V2, V3, V4. The differential amplifier circuit includes a first differential amplifier for providing a first signal that is a difference between the voltage signals V1, V2, a second differential amplifier for providing a second signal that is a difference between the voltage signals V3, V4, a first circuit for providing a first amplified signal of the first signal amplified by a variable gain α, second circuit for providing a second amplified signal of the second signal amplified by a fixed gain and a third differential amplifier for providing the output signal Vd by a difference between the first amplified signal and the second amplified signal. The variable gain is adjusted to provide a minimum air-gap characteristic point that corresponds to a fixed rotation angle relative to the teeth.
