Abstract
The effect of chattering on the measurement of the pulse period is reduced. The pulse period representing the rise interval of target pulses appearing in a pulse signal PI is measured. The pulse signal PI is sampled in synchronization with a measurement clock CLK. Measurement of a designated inhibition period is started in synchronization with the fall of the signal PI. Measurement of the current pulse period is completed and measurement of a new pulse period is started if the inhibition period has elapsed at the rise of the signal PI. Counting of the current pulse period is continued if the inhibition period has not elapsed.
