Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...

The Leine & Linde 1000 series rotary encoder with speed monitoring capabilities is used in applications where secure speed feedback is critical in order to protect motors, machinery or operators from ...

A DSP design approach, including hardware and software implementation for a quasi-absolute encoder. LEE WEI YAN, Applications Engineer, Avago Technologies, San Jose, Calif. A high-accuracy 20-bit ...

That level of resolution is ideal for commutation, high-speed motor control, position/velocity control, and replacement of potentiometers and optical encoders. It’s a low-power 3.3-V (or 5-V) device, ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...
