Abstract

A distortion of a signal of a magnetic position detection device is reduced so that precise position information at a high degree of accuracy can be obtained. The magnetic position detection deviceincludes a magnetic movable body, a bridge circuit, a correction circuit, and a detection circuit. The magnetic movable bodyis magnetized so that N-poles and S-poles alternately appear and has a region in which distances between the N-poles and the S-poles are constant. The bridge circuitis formed of first, second, third, and fourth field detection portionsRRR, andR. The correction circuitis formed of fifth and sixth field detection portionsRandR. The detection circuitdetects a position of the magnetic movable bodyon the basis of a differential output Vout of the bridge circuit.
