DESCRIPTION OF INTERPOLATION
iC-TW2 is a monolithic A/D converter which converts and hysteresis into angle position data. The interpola-
sine/cosine sensor signals with a selectable resolution tion function is shown in Figure 2.

mined by the sum of edges at the incremental outputs
(AB quadrature output) within one input signal period . Example:
