Abstract
A phase detection circuit for detecting the phase shift of an input signal. An A/D converter converts the input signal into first, second and third digital data according to successive three sampling points. A first subtractor subtracts the third data from the second data to produce a first subtraction signal. A second subtractor subtracts the first data from the second data to produce a second subtraction signal. A third subtractor subtracts the second subtraction signal from the first subtraction signal to produce a signal representing the phase shift. An adder adds the first and second subtraction signals together to produce a signal representing the amplitude of the input signal. A converter converts the signal representing the phase shift into a signal representing the absolute value of the phase shift according to the signals representing the phase shift and the amplitude.
