Encoders and decoders are common elements in alarm, remote-control, and measurement systems. However, most of these devices require many I/O lines when under microprocessor or PC control. For example, ...

At NAB, Link Research announced low bit-rate upgrades to its L1000 decoder, extending the standard minimum bit rate of 2.5 Mb/s down to 500 kb/s. Until now the L1000 was only suited to high bit-rate ...

The ERN 1000 and 1100 Series of low-profile incremental rotary encoders with block commutation tracks are suitable for small-dimensioned servomotors. The encoders feature opto-ASIC-based photoelectric ...

A family of single- and dual-channel incremental encoders provides designers with a selection of miniature devices designed for general encoding of low-speed applications. Designated the OPE1275 ...

AEDR-872x encoder is an optical encoder with two channel for differential analog and a third channel for digital index output. This application note discusses the features, benefits, and proper ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Videon, a cutting-edge developer of 4K and HD streaming products that enable users to move media from any source to any screen, is addressing professional and prosumer demand for lower-cost, ...

To meet the needs of equipment safety issues, the new models incorporate two encoders utilizing separate scanning LEDs and electronic circuits into one housing. The outputs are galvanically isolated ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...
