Abstract
A rotation detection device includes a first mold IC, a second mold IC, and a housing. The first mold IC and the second mold IC are each housed in a point-symmetrical position with respect to a reference point in the housing. The housing includes a connector having (i) a first terminal electrically connected to the first mold IC, (ii) a second terminal electrically connected to the second mold IC, and (iii) a GND terminal that is electrically connected to both of the first and second mold ICs. The connector is arranged at a position corresponding to the reference point on the housing.
Claims12
A rotation detection device comprising:
- a first mold IC (Integrated Circuit) configured to output a first detection signal corresponding to a rotation position of a rotating body by detecting a first change in a first magnetic field accompanying a change in the rotation position of the rotating body;
- a second mold IC configured to output a second detection signal according to the rotation position of the rotating body by detecting a second change in a second magnetic field accompanying the change in the rotation position of the rotating body;
- and
- a housing accommodating the first mold IC and the second mold IC, wherein
- the first mold IC and the second mold IC are arranged at a point-symmetrical position with respect to a reference point in the housing,
- the housing includes a connector having a first terminal electrically connected to the first mold IC, a second terminal electrically connected to the second mold IC, and a GND (ground) terminal electrically connected to both of the first mold IC and the second mold IC, and
- the connector is arranged at a position corresponding to the reference point in the housing.
