Incremental Magnetic Encoder

Data Sheet

Description Features
Avago Technologies’ Incremental Magnetic Encoder pro- x Resolution of 256 counts per revolution (CPR)
vides an integrated solution for angular detection within x Contactless sensing technology
a complete 360° rotation. The use of magnetic technol-
ogy for motion control and sensing activities eliminates x Wide temperature range from -40q to 125qC
mechancial contact and enables this device to be free x 3-channel output
from mechanical wear and tear. Three-channel output x Single 5V supply
provides an additional index channel for every full rota-
tion or revolution of 360°. An additional advantage is that x Easy assembly and no signal adjustment required
the encoders upper rotational speed limit is typically only x Direct connectivity through cable output
limited by the application's bearing speed. x RoHS compliant
Exploded View Applications
x Speed detection
x Knob control

DC Supply Voltage at pin VDD = 5V VDD -0.3 to + 7 V
Input Voltage Vi -0.3 to VDD+0.3 V
Storage Temperature Tstg -40 to 125 qC
Notes:
1. Stresses greater than those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is stress rating only and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not
implied.
2. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.

Parameters Symbols Values Units Notes
DC Supply Voltage at pin VDD = 5V VDD +4.5 / +5.5 V
Operating Temperature Tamb 40/125 °C
Rotational Speed : Mechanical (max) 12000 RPM
Electrical (max) 7000 RPM
Notes:
1. Under recommended mounting and tolerance, and mechanical shaft play, the incremental encoder's quadrature output (quater cycle phase shift
between Channel-A and Channel-B) is always maintained. The dynamic performance of the encoder output are depicted in the figures under
Encoding Characteristic.
2. The magnetic incremental output has a fixed hysteresis of 0.7 degrees for all different CPR options (equivalent to 2 quadrature counts at 256 CPR
or 0.5 quadrature count at 64 CPR).
3. The quadrature decoding of both the Channel-A and Channel-B would ensure that the incremental counts are maintained even when there is
transition noise due to fluctuation of the magnetic field strength.
