Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A first integrated circuit includes a first voltage output circuit for outputting a voltage, which proportionally increases in correspondence to an angular position of a throttle valve, a first protective resistor, a first output terminal connected to the first protective resistor, and a first abnormality detection circuit for outputting a first abnormality detection signal based on a voltage produced by the first protective resistor. A second integrated circuit is configured similarly to the first integrated circuit by a second voltage output circuit, a second protective resistor, a second output terminal, and a second abnormality detection circuit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A position detecting device for outputting a voltage to an electronic control unit, which controls a movable body, in accordance with a position of the movable body, the voltage being limited to a voltage of a power source, the position detecting device comprising: a first integrated circuit including a first voltage output circuit for outputting a first voltage increasing linearly with movement of the movable body, a first protective resistor having one end…
