Avago Technologies Motion Control Encoders in Electrical Motor Systems: Design Guide
5.3 Encoders for BLDC Motor System: By Output Signal
Applications are generally designed to receive and
transmit three dierent forms of output signal: analog,
digital or synchronous serial interface (SSI). Analog
output signals appear as a quasi-sinusoidal wave
(unprocessed) while digital output signals resemble
square waves (processed).
5.3.1 Digital signal output incremental encoders
Encoders that provide digital output are typically required
in applications such as servo motor and drives, industrial
automation, factory automation, semiconductor
equipments, oce automation applications and
consumer products.
Avago’s digital encoder is designed to suit commonly
available output requirements. It comes in options of
transistor-transistor logic (TTL) or RS422 standard line
drivers. TTL is considered a commonly available output
and is compatible with TTL logic levels, normally requiring

Note:
1. CPR to LPI Conversion. CPR range is typical value for a 1-inch outer diameter (OD) codewheel.
2. Shaft size. Typically 2 – 8mm for 1-inch OD codewheel. Larger shaft sizes possible if used with a larger OD codewheel.
3. Maximum RPM value is based on response frequency limitation of the encoder signal. Mechanical limit may be higher.
4. Motor Diameter is suggested minimum OD of a motor that the encoder series can t into.
