Angular velocity signal detection circuit and angular velocity signal detection method
First Claim
1. An angular velocity signal detection circuit comprising:
- a first current-voltage conversion circuit configured to convert a current outputted from a first detection electrode of a gyroscope into a first voltage, and to amplify the first voltage, to thereby output a first conversion signal;
a second current-voltage conversion circuit configured to convert a current outputted from a second detection electrode of the gyroscope into a second voltage, and to amplify the second voltage, to thereby output a second conversion signal;
an arithmetic operation unit configured to perform arithmetic operations by using the first conversion signal and the second conversion signal, and to output a first processing signal and a second processing signal; and
a difference arithmetic operation circuit configured to amplify a difference between the first processing signal and the second processing signal, to thereby output a signal indicative of angular velocity.

Abstract
An angular velocity signal detection circuit includes: a first current-voltage conversion circuit that converts, into a voltage, a current outputted from a first detection electrode of a gyroscope, and amplifies the voltage, thereby outputs a first conversion signal; a second current-voltage conversion circuit that converts, into a voltage, a current outputted from a second detection electrode of the gyroscope, and amplifies the voltage, thereby outputs a second conversion signal; an arithmetic operation unit that performs arithmetic operations by using the first conversion signal and the second conversion signal, and outputs a first processing signal and a second processing signal; and a third difference arithmetic operation circuit that amplifies a difference between the first processing signal and the second processing signal.
