Abstract

A D.C. motor position control system operates either in the motor speed detection mode or in the motor position detection mode. A rotary encoder develops an approximate sinusoidal position indicating analog signal in response to the rotation of the D.C. motor. A waveform shaping circuit receives the approximate sinusoidal position indicating analog signal and develops a rectangular position indicating digital signal to a phase comparator which compares the phase of the rectangular position indicating digital signal with the phase of a speed instructing pulse signal so as to control the motor speed in a phase-locked-loop (PLL) manner in the motor speed detection mode. A slice level determination circuit divides the voltage level of the approximate sinusoidal position indicating analog signal into 16 (sixteen) degrees to obtain a sliced position indicating digital signal which is used to control the motor position in the motor position detection mode.
