Patent number: 8004276Abstract: A reference signal generation circuit generates a reference signal used in synchronous detection for removing an excitation signal component in an angle calculation section that converts a detection angle ? obtained from two-phase resolver detection signals output from a resolver, to a digital output angle ?. The reference signal generation circuit includes a first multiplier, a second multiplier, and an adder. The first multiplier multiplies one of the resolver detection signals sin ? sin(?t+??) by the sine value sin ? of the digital output angle ? obtained from the angle calculation section. The second multiplier multiplies the other resolver detection signal cos ? sin(?t+??) by the cosine value cos ? of the digital output angle ? obtained from the angle calculation section. The adder adds the output of the first multiplier and the output of the second multiplier to output the sum signal sin(?t+??) as the reference signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry LimitedInventors: Hisashi Nishimura, Kenichi Nakazato
