Abstract

Abstract The detection circuit includes a first synchronism detection circuit for synchronous detection of an input signal. A second synchronism detection circuit synchronously detects the input signal separately from the first synchronism detection circuit. A phase-shifting circuit outputs differently phased signals to the first synchronism detection circuit and the second synchronism detection circuit. A first smoothing circuit smooths the output of the first synchronism detection circuit. A second smoothing circuit smooths the output of the second synchronism detection circuit. A composite circuit adds the outputs of the first smoothing circuit and the second smoothing circuit. Even when a drift component is contained in the input signal, the detection circuit will output a predetermined output signal in which the drift component is suppressed.
