SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VALIDATING QUADRATURE SIGNALS

摘要

A system and method is provided for use in a control system, such as a steering control system, for validating quadrature signals. A system makes a determination of validity based on the timing of detected state changes in the quadrature signals. To accomplish this, the amount of time that elapses between successive transitions is compared to the amount of time that elapses in an adjacent time period. If the two time periods are close enough, the signals are considered valid.
