Abstract

See full text

A control device of a piezoelectric drive device includes a drive pulse signal generation unit that generates a binary drive pulse signal, a drive signal generation unit that generates a drive signal which is applied to the piezoelectric element for drive from the drive pulse signal, a detection pulse signal generation unit that generates a detection pulse signal by binarizing the detection signal which is output from the piezoelectric element for detection, and a phase difference acquisition unit that acquires a phase difference between the drive pulse signal and the detection pulse signal, based on a rising edge and a falling edge of the drive pulse signal and a rising edge and a falling edge of the detection pulse signal.
