Description:
A device suitable for determining arc-tangent of an angle theta is provided. Circuitry generates a first square wave at a frequency omega(t) and a second square wave at the frequency omega(t) but shifted by a phase difference equal to the angle theta. A pulse width modulation signal generator processes the first and second square waves to generate a pulse width modulation signal having a frequency of omega(t) and having a pulse width that is a function of the phase difference theta. The pulse width modulation signal is converted to a DC voltage that is a linear representation of the phase difference theta.
