Single-Chip Circuit Delivers Direction Information In Encoders

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...

Making the switch to high-end rotary encoders for RF systems

Because encoders limit the number of controls required to increase functionality, they reduce the real estate needed in a given piece of equipment and, in turn, can reduce the point of focus or ...
