1. An encoder comprising:

  • a voltage generation circuit connected to a power supply through a diode and having a variable resistor, the voltage generation circuit outputting a voltage corresponding to a current flowing through the diode and a resistance value of the variable resistor, as a threshold value;

    a comparator configured to perform a comparison between an analog signal inputted from a detector for detecting rotation of a motor and the threshold value inputted from the voltage generation circuit, and output a comparison result as a comparator output;

    a resistance value variation circuit configured to vary the resistance value of the variable resistor; and

    a threshold value determination circuit configured to determine the threshold value based on a relationship between the resistance value and the comparator output.
