Product catalog summary
Description: The AEDB-9140 series are three-channel optical incremental encoder modules designed for detecting rotary position when used with a codewheel. Each module includes a lensed LED source and a detector IC in a compact plastic package, offering high tolerance to mounting misalignment. The modules provide two-channel quadrature outputs and a third channel index output, generating a high true index pulse once per full rotation of the codewheel.
Features:
  • Two Channel Quadrature Output with Index Pulse
  • Resolution from 100 CPR to 500 CPR
  • Low Cost and Easy to Mount
  • No Signal Adjustment Required
  • Small Size
  • Operating Temperature: -10°C to 85°C
  • TTL Compatible
  • Single 5V Supply
Applications: Ideal for high-volume applications such as printers, plotters, tape drives, and industrial automation equipment. Not recommended for safety-critical applications.
Theory of Operation: The AEDB-9140 modules translate rotary motion into a three-channel digital output using a single LED light source and a photodetector array. The codewheel interrupts the light beam, and the resulting signals are processed to produce digital waveforms for channels A, B, and an index channel.
Resolutions and Ordering Information: Available resolutions range from 100 CPR to 500 CPR, with various shaft diameter options. Customization of codewheel CPR is possible based on the encoder LPI table.
Electrical Characteristics: The modules operate over a temperature range of -10°C to 85°C with a supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V. They require 2.7 kΩ pull-up resistors on output pins for reliable performance.
Mounting Considerations: Recommended screw size is M1.6 x 0.35 with a torque of 1 Lbin. Dimensions should be measured with respect to two mounting bosses for optimal performance.
Absolute Maximum Ratings: Storage and operating temperatures range from -10°C to 85°C, with a maximum supply voltage of 7V.
Encoding Characteristics: The document provides detailed specifications for cycle error, pulse width error, logic state width error, phase error, and position error under recommended conditions.
Customization and Calculations: Customization of codewheel CPR is possible, and a formula for CPR calculation is provided. The recommended maximum codewheel diameter should not exceed 30mm.

AEDB-9140 Series Three Channel Optical Incremental Encoder Modules with Codewheel, 100 CPR to 500 CPR Data Sheet The AEDB-9140 series are three channel optical incremental encoder modules oered with a codewheel. When used with a codewheel, these low cost modules detect rotary position. Each module consists of a lensed LED source and a detector IC enclosed in a small plastic package. Due to a highly collimated light source and a unique photodetector array, these modules are extremely tolerant to mounting misalignment. • Two Channel Quadrature Output with Index Pulse The AEDB-9140 has two channel quadrature outputs plus a third channel index output. This index output is a 90 electrical degree high true index pulse which is generated once for each full rotation of the codewheel. The AEDB-9140 is designed for use with a codewheel which has an optical radius of 11.00 mm (0.433 inch). The quadrature signals and the index pulse are accessed through five 0.46 mm square pins located on 1.27 mm(pitch) centers. The AEDB-9140 provide sophisticated motion control detection at a low cost, making them ideal for high volume applications. Typical applications include printers, plotters, tape drives, and industrial and factory automation equipment. • Resolution from 100 CPR to 500 CPR (Counts Per Revolution) • Low Cost • Easy to Mount • No Signal Adjustment required • Small Size • TTL Compatible • Single 5V Supply Note: Avago Technologies encoders are not recommended for use in safety critical applications. Eg. ABS braking systems, power steering, life support systems and critical care medical equipment. Please contact sales representative if more clarication is needed.

Ordering Information Theory of Operation The AEDB-9140 are emitter/detector modules. Coupled with a codewheel, these modules translate the rotary motion of a shaft into a three-channel digital output. Resolutions (Cycle/Rev) Shaft Diameter* As seen in Figure 1, the modules contain a single Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its light source. The light is collimated into a parallel beam by means of a single polycarbonate lens located directly over the LED. Opposite the emitter is the integrated detector circuit. This IC consists of multiple sets of photodetectors and the signal processing circuitry...

Note: The customization of codewheel method is valid from theoretical standpoint. However Avago Technologies strongly recommends a full characterization to be done to determine the actual performance of the encoder with customized codewheel. CPR calculation formula: CPR = (LPI x 25.4) x 2 x π x ROP Where: CPR = Counts Per Revolutions LPI = Encoder LPI provided in the table ROP = Encoder Optical Radius in mm * Recommended maximum Codewheel diameter should not exceed 30mm Characterization means validating the encoding performance (consist of cycle error, pulse width error, logic state width error,...
