Abstract: A rotation detection device includes a rotation detection circuit, a step-up power supply circuit, a step-down power supply circuit, a first power supply path, and a second power supply path. The rotation detection circuit is configured to detect a rotation number of a motor that generates a torque applied to a steering mechanism of a vehicle, based on an electric signal. The electric signal is generated according to a rotation angle of the motor that is acquired through an in-vehicle sensor.

Abstract: A phase locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer has a phase comparator, a voltage-controlled oscillator, a charge pump circuit, a loop filter, a variable frequency divider periodically changing a division value in response to a frequency division value changing circuit, and a charge pump bias circuit for supplying a modulated reference bias current, for canceling a phase error, to the charge pump circuit. As a result, without generating additional spurious components, conventionally-generated spurious components can be suppressed.

Abstract: The phase comparator in a phase locked loop synthesizer has a identical first and second transmission gates connected to a front row and a back row of 2N−1 gate delay elements, respectively. Third and fourth transmission gates are permanently set to an ON setting. The first transmission gate and NAND gates operate as a gate delay element when a COUNT signal is at a low logical level and operate as a ring oscillator when the COUNT signal is at a high logical level.

Abstract: An opening long in the longitudinal direction of a duct wall is formed. The whole of the opening is covered with non-woven fabric, and the lateral width of the opening is set to be not shorter than {fraction (1/20)} of the circumferential length of the duct wall. Alternatively, a porous member is thermally welded with the head of an opening of a small cylindrical portion projecting from the duct wall of a duct body 1, while the duct body is prevented from deformation. In a method for manufacturing the air take duct, a high-melting molded piece is brought into contact with a hot plate so as to be heated. A low-melting molded piece is disposed at a distance from the hot plate so as to be heated by radiation heat from the hot plate.
