Abstract
The invention provides an interpolation apparatus for improving the resolution of an optical encoder. The optical encoder outputs an encoding signal, and the encoding signal corresponds to a first resolution. The interpolation apparatus comprises a comparing circuit and a lookup table circuit. The comparator receives the encoding signal and produces a plurality of comparison signals. The lookup table circuit receives a plurality of comparison signals and produces an outputted signal, wherein the outputted signal corresponds to second resolution. The second resolution is greater than the first resolution.
