Abstract
A pulse detection circuit, for detecting pulses contained in output signals derived from an encoder such as rotary encoder which converts any physical quantity like spatial position, displacement or length into an electric signal, is disclosed. The disclosed pulse detection circuit can minimize the positional error in counting pulses and effectively prevent the accumulation of the erroneous count value by an ingeneous establishment and control of the logical relationship among signals by the use of a gate circuit including a plurality of AND gates and an RS flip-flop. It therefore will not erroneously count pulses contained in the encoder output signals even if noise or pulse chatter are incidentally included in the encoder output signals and if the phase relation between the two signals is temporarily inverted, to perform a pulse detection in a very high accuracy.
