Abstract
A decoder for decoding an input signal coded with a pulse width modulation code as a line code to an output signal in a binary code, has a first memory, a first timer, a determination circuit and a first controller. The information on a duty duration of the PWM code, corresponding to at least one kind of the output signals, is stored on the first memory. The first timer has a capacity to measure the duty duration of the input signal. The determination circuit has a capacity to determining which kind of the output signals corresponds to the input signal, on the basis of the information stored on the first memory and the duty duration measured with the first timer. The first controller has a capacity to updating the information stored on the first memory, on the basis of the determination result and the measured duty duration.
