Signal processing circuit for encoder
In an encoder which is equipped with two detectors arranged on both sides of a rotating shaft in order to eliminate an eccentricity error, the mounting of the detectors is facilitated by making provisions so as to not cause a problem in the calculating of an average even if the detectors happen to be so mounted that the difference between the angular values calculated from the outputs of the respective detectors becomes equal to 180°. In an initialization process after power on, the difference Δθ between the angular values θ1 and θ2 calculated from the signals output from the respective detectors is stored as an initial value. Position data θ is output by taking an average between θ3 and θ2, where θ3 is a value obtained by correcting θ1 by the initial difference Δθ.
