ABSTRACT:
A small-sized rotational angle detector can output both the absolute rotational angle α including the frequency of the steering shaft and the relative rotational angle signal. The amount of change of the absolute rotational angle is calculated on a sampling-period basis. A transition interval is determined based on the sampling period and the amount of change of the absolute rotational angle. Based on the preset pulse pattern, A-phase, B-phase and Z-phase pulses transitioning at the transition intervals are generated. Assuming that the amount of change of the absolute rotational angle in the sampling period of 10 ms is 2°, 2.5 ms obtained by dividing the sampling period 10 ms by the range of change 4 converted based on a predetermined unit 0.5° of the absolute rotational angle region, is defined as a pulse transition interval. The pulses are outputted as a relative rotational angle signal. Unnecessity of large-diameter disk having slits enables reducing the size of the entire detector and enhancing the degree of shape freedom.
