Description
This is an incremental rotary encoder that uses contactless magnetic sensing to detect rotational speed and direction. The two Hall Effect sensors measure the 66-pole ring magnet and output two signals in quadrature. This automotive-qualified solution is a low-cost and far more reliable alternative to conventional mechanical contact-based encoders, as it uses solid-state sensing that is immune to physical wear, dirt, corrosion, and RF noise.
Features
- Extremely simple, reliable, and low-cost
- Greater design flexibility and ESD immunity, over mechanical encoder modules
- 66-pole magnet provides 132 detections per 360° of rotation (1 per 2.7°)
- >20kHz Hall Effect sensor bandwidth provides low 15µs latency
- Digital sensing and digital signaling offer noise immunity
- Automotive qualified to AEC-Q100
