The video is a primer on encoder design, walking you through the basics of sensing rotation with phototransistors, and how a pair of detectors is needed to determine the direction of rotation.

Better by Design: Hollow-shaft encoder. Dec. 1, 2011. Noncontact magnetic rotary encoders are hard to beat when it comes to measuring rotary motion in machinery, as they are relatively small ...

It is the same as the open collector, but, as the name implies, it contains the pull-up resistor internal to the encoder. If your controller doesn’t have a load, the encoder output will have to be ...

This document describes the Intel SVT-AV1 encoder design. In particular, the encoder block diagram and the system resource manager are described. A brief description of the various processes involved ...

Today's consumer devices are defined by portability. However, where these designs incorporate movement, how do product engineers integrate feedback? In portable medical applications, reflective ...

System on Chip design is driven by complex consumer devices that rely on standard algorithms such as H.264, WiMax, or JPEG for their defining capabilities. These reference standards allow room for ...

Although not a fundamental limitation in the design of optical encoders, none of the models considered offer more than 256-position (8-bit) resolution whereas the magnetic types feature 10- and 12 ...

A new class of position sensing devices is manufactured with proven technologies such as pc-board assembly and injection molding techniques. Called the Sine/Cosine Rotary Electric Encoder(TM), from ...

Recent developments in semiconductor design and bonding techniques that help engineers arrange electronic components in very small spaces let Heidenhain Corp. set new size standards for true absolute ...

Due to improvements on the ECI/EQI 1300 series of inductive rotary encoders from Heidenhain Corp., a 19-bit singleturn resolution version is now offered. The development is a result of the addition of ...

The FORTiS encoder design is built upon industry-proven RESOLUTE encoder technology and provides high resistance to the ingress of liquids and solid debris contaminants. It features an extruded ...
