Abstract

A diagnostic device capable of accurately diagnosing the soundness of a resolver circuit is provided. A shifter receives excitation signal and excitation signal; shifts the level of excitation signal, excitation signal, or both; and performs level shifting such that a period of time that starts with one of two times in which, in the vicinity of the peak value of excitation signal, excitation signal and excitation signal are at the same value and ends with the other of the two times is less than a prescribed threshold. A trigger generation circuit generates a trigger during said period of time. A control unit determines whether there is an abnormality in the resolver circuit on the basis of the trigger.
