Abstract

See full text

A signal processing circuit includes an I/V conversion circuit (current/voltage conversion section) that converts an oscillation current of a vibrator into a voltage, an RC filter (phase shift section) that shifts a phase of the output signal of the I/V conversion circuit, a full-wave rectifier (part of a drive amplitude control section) that binarizes a signal that has been shifted in phase to generate a switch control signal, a comparator (reference signal generation section) that generates a reference signal for synchronous detection based on the output signal of the I/V conversion circuit, and an EXOR circuit (clock signal generation section) that generates a clock signal for a switched capacitor filter (SCF) that has a frequency twice a frequency of a drive signal based on a phase difference between the reference signal and the switch control signal.
