I wrote a bit of VHDL for generating inc/dec pulses from quadrature rotary encoders like the CTS Electrocomponents ones I bought from Digikey for a project I worked on recently. This debounce circuit ...

All engineers know how to use their digital oscilloscope to automatically measure basic parameters such as peak-to-peak voltage, rise time, or frequency on waveforms with a few button presses. Some ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Choosing the right broadcast encoder/decoder combination ensures both picture quality and the functionality to support the total broadcast system. Shown here is Scientific-Atlanta’s Continuum DVP ...
