Description
Vn≦Vmin≦Vn+0.29Vπ・・・・・(1)
また、印加される電圧の最大値電圧Vmaxがnull点電圧Vn以下の場合、図8に示したように最大値電圧Vmaxは、下記(2)式を満たすように設計される。
Vn-0.29Vπ≦Vmax≦Vn・・・・・(2)
Vn-0.29×Vπ≦Vmax≦Vn・・・・・(2)
例えば、電圧幅R2をnull点電圧Vnより小さい側に設定する場合は、駆動電圧を0.4×Vπとした場合は、印加電圧幅Vppの最大値電圧Vmaxを、VnからVn-0.29Vπの範囲内となるように動作点Vdを設定することが好ましい。また、駆動電圧を0.35×Vπとした場合は、印加電圧幅Vppの最大値電圧Vmaxを、VnからVn-0.27Vπの範囲内となるように動作点Vdを設定することが好ましい。また、駆動電圧を0.3×Vπとした場合は、印加電圧幅Vppの最大値電圧Vmaxを、VnからVn-0.24×Vπの範囲内となるように動作点Vdを設定することが好ましい。また、駆動電圧を0.25×Vπとした場合は、印加電圧幅Vppの最大値電圧Vmaxを、VnからVn-0.21Vπの範囲内となるように動作点Vdを設定することが好ましい。
