Abstract: A hydraulic control apparatus includes an output-side oil passage into which oil from a first oil passage and oil from a second oil passage flow, and a pressure regulating check valve regulating a hydraulic pressure in the second oil passage. The pressure regulating check valve includes first and second elastic portions housed in a spool hole between a valve body and a bottom of the spool hole. A natural length of the second elastic portion is shorter than a distance between the valve body and the bottom when the valve body closes an inflow hole. The second elastic portion applies an elastic force to the valve body in a state in which the valve body opens the inflow hole.

Abstract: In a hydraulic control device, a first valve device is brought into an open state when a first value obtained by subtracting a value of a pressure in the first output side oil passage from a value of a pressure in the second output side oil passage is equal to or larger than a first threshold value. A second valve device is brought into an open state when an oil pressure in a third connection oil passage is equal to or larger than a second threshold value, and is brought into a closed state when the oil pressure in the third connection oil passage is smaller than the second threshold value. The first value is equal to or larger than the first threshold value and the first valve device is in the open state when the second valve device is in the closed state.

Abstract: A fraction part control circuit of a frequency synthesizer apparatus including a PLL circuit is of a plural-n-th-order delta-sigma modulator circuit for controlling a fraction part of a number of frequency division to a variable frequency divider of the PLL circuit. An adder adds data of the fraction part to an output data from a multiplier and outputs the resultant data to a quantizer through a second-order integrator. The quantizer quantizes input data with a quantization step and outputs the quantized data to the multiplier through a feedback circuit. The quantized data is used as data of the controlled fraction part. The multiplier multiplies data from the feedback circuit by the quantization step and outputs the resultant data to the adder. The fraction part control circuit periodically changes the data of the fraction part, thereby setting a frequency of an output signal from a VCO according to an average value of the period.
