    Abstract: A sensor control circuit according to the present embodiment is provided with an autonomous-oscillation loop part configured to generate a sensor-modulated signal having a carrier signal and an alternating signal output by a sensor and superposed on the carrier signal having the same frequency as the alternating signal, and an amplitude adjustment loop part configured to generate a control signal for amplitude adjustment of the carrier signal, by digital processing of a result of comparison between the carrier signal and a reference voltage level. The autonomous-oscillation loop part includes an amplifier configured to perform amplitude adjustment of the carrier signal, and a switched capacitor having a switch configured to be switched by the control signal, the switched capacitor configured to be capable of controlling a gain of the amplifier in accordance with a switching frequency of the switch.
