A displacement sensor outputs displacement without delay caused by the detection period of the displacement sensor, when output of displacement is requested from outside. Displacement is detected using a phase difference between an input signal waveform and an output signal waveform. A detection time is derived by a timer when the sensor detects a displacement, and at least two previous detected displacements are stored together with detection times thereof. When output is requested from outside, the two previous displacements are extrapolated to a current displacement, based on the two previous displacements and detection times and a time at which output was requested, and the current displacement is output. |
