My previous blog Encoders Know All the Angles introduced encoders that provide information about rotary positions. A diagram illustrated the phase relationship of signals from an incremental encoder.

Similar in size and shape to the common panel-mounted potentiometer, the incremental rotary encoder provides an inexpensive ‘digital’ alternative to the analog potentiometer. It is typically used to ...

This article describes how to design and build an adjustable, encoder-controlled, two-range sine / square wave oscillator using the SLG47004 IC. To design a simple analog sine wave oscillator (using ...

These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...
