Abstract: In a detection method for detecting an end position of a mechanism portion of a turning device, detection of a limit position of a steering angle in a direction of a torque value is started when the torque value of the mechanism portion loaded by at least one of a drive force from an actuator and steering torque to the mechanism portion exceeds a first threshold. The limit position continues to be detected by storing a peak value of the steering angle in the mechanism portion as the limit position while the torque value of the mechanism portion is between the first threshold and a second threshold. The stored limit position is regarded as the end position indicated by the torque value when the torque value of the mechanism portion exceeds the second threshold.

Patent EP-4033670-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HURRELL CHRISTOPHER PETER
IPC: H03M1/16
Filed: 2020-08-10
Abstract: The present disclosure provides alternative solutions to the problem of providing a stable voltage reference to high speed ADCs that possess high sampling rates. In one example the high speed amplifier is replaced by a smaller, slower, lower power amplifier in combination with a relatively large capacitor connected to the same node as the amplifier output and the ADC reference input. The capacitor is charged substantially to the external reference voltage and hence keeps the reference input of the ADC almost at the external reference voltage between conversions, such that when conversion is about to occur and the external reference is switched in then very little charge is required from the external reference, and hence the reference signal quickly settles. An alternative arrangement is to replace the amplifier with a comparator that takes as one of its inputs the external reference signal, and as the other of its inputs the internal reference to the ADC, and makes use of a control circuit that adjusts the threshold of the comparator from bit-trial to bit-trial until the internal reference is brought up to substantially the same signal level as the external reference. When the external reference is then switched in to supply the ADC circuit it settles very quickly and draws very little power therefrom.
