When the need arises to convert voltage readings from an analog sensor into a pulse train, a low-end microcontroller offers a versatile solution. The design in Figure 1 uses an 8-pin PIC 12F683 to ...

Bodenheim, Germany – iC-ML is an integrated magnetic linear position sensor / encoder assembled ... generation of analog sine/cosine signals at a pole pitch of 2.56 mm; it also has an integrated ...

Both types, however, track mechanical motion (usually of a motor's output shaft) and convert it ... incremental encoders, on the other hand, generate a single voltage pulse per specified change ...
