HEDS-9701#C54 Broadcom Limited

The HEDS-9701#C54 is a two-channel optical incremental encoder from Broadcom Limited. It is a right-angle encoder with a resolution of 100 counts per revolution (CPR). The encoder is housed in a compact package with a diameter of 20 mm and a height of 8 mm.

The HEDS-9701#C54 uses an optical sensing principle to detect the rotation of a shaft. The encoder contains a lensed LED source, an integrated circuit with detectors and output circuitry, and a codewheel that rotates between the emitter and detector IC. As the codewheel rotates, it interrupts the light path between the emitter and detector, generating two quadrature signals. The quadrature signals can be used to determine the direction and speed of rotation of the shaft.

The HEDS-9701#C54 is a high-performance, low-cost encoder that is ideal for a wide range of applications, including industrial automation, robotics, and medical devices. It is also suitable for use in consumer electronics products such as printers, scanners, and copiers.

How to use the HEDS-9701#C54

To use the HEDS-9701#C54, you will need to connect it to a microcontroller or other electronic device. The encoder has four output pins: two quadrature signals (A and B), an index pulse signal (Z), and a ground signal. The quadrature signals can be used to determine the direction and speed of rotation of the shaft. The index pulse signal can be used to mark a specific position on the shaft.

The encoder also has a power supply pin and a power enable pin. The power supply pin should be connected to a voltage source of 3.3 V or 5 V. The power enable pin can be used to control the power to the encoder.

Once the encoder is connected to the electronic device, you can begin using it to measure the rotation of the shaft. The quadrature signals can be used to determine the direction and speed of rotation. The index pulse signal can be used to mark a specific position on the shaft.

Example applications

Here are some example applications of the HEDS-9701#C54 encoder:

• In industrial automation, the encoder can be used to measure the rotation of a motor shaft or other rotating component. This information can be used to control the speed and position of the component.
• In robotics, the encoder can be used to measure the rotation of a joint motor. This information can be used to control the position and orientation of the robot.
• In medical devices, the encoder can be used to measure the rotation of a pump shaft or other rotating component. This information can be used to control the flow of fluids or other substances.
• In consumer electronics, the encoder can be used to measure the rotation of a printer drum or scanner platen. This information can be used to control the position of the print head or scanner head.

Conclusion

The HEDS-9701#C54 is a high-performance, low-cost encoder that is ideal for a wide range of applications. It is a compact and easy-to-use encoder that offers high reliability and long life.
