Abstract:
An encoder according to an embodiment of this disclosure includes a voltage generation circuit connected to a power supply through a diode and having a variable resistor, the voltage generation circuit outputting a voltage corresponding to a current flowing through the diode and a resistance value of the variable resistor, as a threshold value; a comparator for performing a comparison between an analog signal inputted from a detector for detecting rotation of a motor and the threshold value inputted from the voltage generation circuit, and outputting a comparison result as a comparator output; a resistance value variation circuit for varying the resistance value of the variable resistor; and a threshold value determination circuit for determining the threshold value based on a relationship between the resistance value and the comparator output.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for controlling an encoder comprising:\n inputting an output voltage of a voltage generation circuit having a variable resistor to a comparator, as a threshold value; inputting an analog signal from a detector of the encoder to the comparator; varying a resistance value of the variable resistor by a resistance value variation circuit; performing a comparison between the analog signal and the threshold value, and outputting a comparison result to a threshold value determination circuit as a comparator output by the comparator; determining the threshold value based on a relationship between the resistance value and the comparator output by the threshold value determination circuit; and varying the resistance value of the variable resistor of the voltage generation circuit by the resistance value variation circuit, such that the determined threshold value is inputted from the voltage generation circuit to the comparator.
