Title:
DRIVE CIRCUIT AND PHYSICAL QUANTITY SENSOR APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/084531
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an amplitude detection circuit (101) that detects the amplitude value (D101) of a monitor signal (Smnt) in response to self-excited oscillation of a physical quantity sensor (10). A wave shaping circuit (102) converts the monitor signal to a pulsed signal. A pulse amplitude modulation circuit (104) adjusts the amplitude of the pulsed signal in accordance with the amplitude value (D101), and outputs this amplitude as a drive signal (Sdrv) for control of self-excited oscillation of the physical quantity sensor.
