ROTATION ANGLE DETECTION DEVICE AND ROTATION ANGLE DETECTION METHOD
In a rotation angle detection device for detecting a rotation angle and a rotation speed of a motor generator by using a resolver, a resolver detection accuracy is improved by raising the amplitude or frequency of an excitation signal when the motor generator is performing a driving operation. Furthermore, by reducing the amplitude or frequency of the excitation signal when the motor generator is not performing a driving operation, it is possible to suppress the amount of heat generated by the excitation circuit and the resolver, while maintaining a resolver detection accuracy that enables information about the rotation speed of the motor generator to be obtained.

Noise-resistant intermittently operating incremental position sensor
A method of operating an intermittently measuring or pulsed incremental position sensor, and a position sensor that has noise detecting circuitry activated during each measurement, triggering corrective measurements as long as the influence of noise is detected. Corrective measurements immediately follow and replace a noise-influenced measurement well before the next scheduled measurement. Noise can be detected as a differential amplifier's common-mode input signal, thus clearly separating the influence of noise from the sensor's differential input signal.
