DESCRIPTION
iC-LV is an optoelectronic encoder IC for absolute linear and angle measuring systems such as glass scales
and shaft encoders, for example. Photosensors, amplifiers and comparators for 5 tracks at a pitch of 600 µm
and a reference photosensor operating the LED power control are monolithically integrated on the chip.
The internal comparator outputs switch to high when the amplified photocurrents exceed a given threshold
(constant light evaluation). This threshold can be adjusted using an external resistor at RSET; alternatively,
if RSET is not wired an internal resistor is used.
The internal or external resistor also establishes a setpoint for the LED current control which irrespective of
temperature or the effects of aging keeps the optical receive power constant. A driver stage enables either a
transmitting LED with a series resistor to be directly connected to the device or operates an external transistor
to generate higher currents.
Track information can be read out in parallel (either in Gray or binary code) or serially via an SSI protocol.
Here, any number of iC-LVs can be cascaded and synchronized with one another; data is then output as a
binary word (requiring Gray code discs).
A watchdog generates an alarm message via the error output if the LED current control range is exceeded.
The open-drain error output can be wired to a bus; the signal is then low active. The serial data output can
also be complemented by the error bit.
All inputs and outputs are protected against destruction by ESD. Two different test modes can be selected by
pin and permit a complete test of functions with the exception of the photosensors.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Illumination control
Track evaluation
The integrated LED power control with a driver stage
keeps the photocurrent of reference photosensor
DREF constant. This compensates for aging, dirt and
drops in efficiency of the transmitting LED with rises
in temperature.
The switching threshold supplied to the track comparators lies at half of INREF, ie. in the center between a full light and no light condition, and adjusts
automatically to changes in illumination. This enables
the device to be operated without the LED power
control with a constant illumination level only. The
hysteresis of the current comparators is also
photocurrent tracked and increases noise immunity.
The photocurrent of reference sensor DREF and the
dark current of compensation sensor DD are amplified in the receiver. The amplified currents are subtracted from one another, yielding an actual value to
feed the LED power control. The current adjusted by
resistor R1 at pin RSET generates the bias for the
control; the voltage at pin RSET is kept constant (see
Electrical Characteristics No. E01). If pin RSET remains open an internal bias current is used which is
equivalent to an external resistor of ca. 24 kΩ.
If there is an optical feedback loop from the LED to
reference sensor DREF the power driver alters the
LED current until the optical power received complies
with the given setpoint. The photocurrent generated
by reference sensor DREF B and thus also the level
of illumination for the overall system B is kept constant.
A monitoring circuit detects when and if the LED control range is overshot or undershot and signals this by
switching error output NERR to low and via the error
bit during serial communication (when SEEN is high
and no synchronization is selected).
Resistor R3 connected in series to the transmitting
LED limits the current and governs the operating limits of the LED power control.
At the same time the amplified dark current of compensation sensor DD and the reference photocurrent
of sensor DREF are added together. The resulting
current, named INREF, is used to provide the switching threshold for the track comparators. This enables
operation of iC-LV with an external light source instead of using power-controlled LED.
The most significant bit (MSB) can be inverted by
connecting pin NDIR to ground (GND). If the pin remains open, an internal pull-up current source generates a high level. When Gray code discs are used,
inverting the MSB track is tantamount to changing the
direction of rotation.
iC-LV
5-BIT OPTO ENCODER
Rev A3, Page 9/12
Modes of operation
iC-LV has various modes of operation which are preselected using pin MODE. MODE = 0 selects operation as an optoelectronic encoder IC with a parallel
output; MODE = 1 (default) makes a number of serial
operating modes available.
Parallel Output Mode (MODE = 0)
In parallel output mode the 5 tracks with sensor D4
(MSB) to sensor D0 (LSB or least significant bit) are
output in parallel to pins SYNM1 (LSB), SYNM0,
SCLK, SERIN and SOUT (MSB).
The wiring of pin NDIR determines the count direction. With NDIR connected to GND the MSB is output
inverted so that the count direction can be altered
when reading Gray-coded discs.
By connecting pin NINV to GND the output of all bits
can be inverted. If this is not required, NINV can be
left open. NDIR and NINV can be used either together or independently of one another. If both pins
are connected to GND all bits B with the exception of
the MSB B are output inverted.
By connecting pin SEEN to GND the bits can be output in binary format following a Gray to binary code
conversion. This is done after the bits have been inverted, where relevant. If pin SEEN is left unconnected the output is in Gray code.
Serial Output Mode (MODE = 1, default)
In serial output mode pin SCLK is the clock input
hooked up to an SSI master supplying an intermittently active clock signal with a high level during idle
time, pin SERIN is the serial data input and pin SOUT
the serial data output.
Various serial operational modes and output formats
can be configured using pins SYNM0 and SYNM1
(high when not wired).

In No Sync mode an LED control error bit (low active)
can be added to the serial data by releasing it via pin
SEEN. In No Sync Binary mode pin SEEN has no
function.
In both No Sync and No Sync Binary mode iC-LV
operates without synchronization, i.e. it stores the 5
track values on the first falling edge seen at SCLK
after a long idle time and then transmits the track data
via pin SOUT on each of the 5 following rising edges
at SCLK. At the same time pin SERIN reads in data
from a pre-positioned iC-LV which can then be
passed on. Here, iC-LV operates as a 5-bit shift register (or 6-bit if the error bit is active during No Sync
mode) whose flipflops accept input data on a falling
edge and output stored data on a rising edge.
In No Sync Binary mode data is converted from Gray
to binary before being output. In this mode of operation it is not possible to output a serial error bit; no
data from SERIN is accepted on the first and second
rising edge at SCLK.
If pin NDIR is connected to GND a change in count
direction with Gray codes can be initiated by inverting
the MSB. By connecting pin NINV to GND all track
data can be output inverted. Both pins NINV and
NDIR are high when not connected.
In modes SSI out and Sync out iC-LV operates with
synchronization, classing the LSB of its own code
disc as a synchronization bit. The data read in from
the code disc is converted into binary code and, if
necessary, corrected by +1 or -1 depending on the
MSB of the pre-positioned device also read in.
Each LSB has the same resolution as the MSB of the
pre-positioned iC-LV, operated at a 16-fold faster
speed, and is assembled so that it either trails (SEEN
is high, default) or leads (SEEN is low) by up to 90°.
The phase position must be configured for each individual code disc using pin SEEN (trail/lead). This
phase shift applies to data converted into binary code
and is not immediately visible on the code discs.
If data is read out serially and synchronized elsewhere a smaller phase shift must be adjusted. In this
instance data transmission times must be taken into
account.
The synchronization process ensures that synchronous with the flipping of the MSB from the pre-positioned iC-LV track data is switched forward to the
next data word expected on that code disc. Once the
track data has been captured on the first falling edge
at SLCK, the data word is synchronized with the MSB
of the predecessor during the first low and first high
period on the SCLK line (the MSB is possibly subject
to change within this time).
iC-LV
5-BIT OPTO ENCODER
Rev A3, Page 10/12
The synchronization result is switched straight
through to the output so that a synchronized MSB is
available for each following gear. This allows the
track data to be synchronized with MSBs on the first
falling as well as on the first rising edge.
In synchronization modes iC-LV functions as a 4-bit
shift register, i.e. the synchronization bit is not
clocked out with the track data. Serial data is read in
on a falling edge and output on a rising edge. In SSI
Out mode the MSB is blanked out by a high until the
first rising edge and thus output on this first rising
edge, making this mode SSI compatible.

Sensor emulation and comparator switching
threshold test: To test the track evaluation and
switching thresholds a test current is supplied at pin
SYNM0 for reference sensor DREF and at SYNM1 for
the track sensors. The current reduction ratio is
1:1000.
Alternatively, testing can be carried out by illumination
as the supplied test currents are added to the
photocurrents. The track to be measured at SOUT is
selected via a 5-bit shift register. To this end a suitable bit stream is clocked in via SCLK (clock low active) and SERIN (level). If more than one track is selected, the comparator output signals are EXORed.
The 5-bit shift register addresses track sensors D4 to
D0 via bits 4 to 0. When measurement commences
the shift register should be filled up with zero.

Figure 2: Synchronization
If inverted Gray codes are used on the code discs a
code inversion can be initiated by connecting NINV to
GND. By connecting NDIR to GND the MSB bit is
output inverted to reverse the count direction of the
Gray code.
Here it should be noted that inverting the MSB output
causes a 180° change in the phase position, i.e. a
trailing 90° synchronization track becomes a leading
90° track and vice versa. This can be compensated
for by a suitable setting of pin SEEN or by assembling
the code disc in a suitable zero position.
Test modes
iC-LV has two different test modes which are activated by connecting pin TEST to VDD. Pin MODE
designates which test mode is activated. Connected
to VDD (or not connected at all), this initiates the digital test mode; if connected to GND the analog test
mode is selected.
Logic test: Digital test mode is largely identical to the
serial operating modes. One difference is that data
input at pin SERIN is first clocked through a 5-bit shift
register before being clocked through the output shift
register. This enables various bit sequences to be
first clocked into the test register. Following an idle
time on the clock line of t > tmf (see Electrical Characteristics No. 603) the test data is stored on the first
falling edge on SCLK instead of the track values.
This allows various sensor input stimuli to be generated. In the synchronized operating modes the data
word is synchronized with pin SERIN as in normal
operating mode. Configuration of the various serial
operating modes is also as in normal operating mode.
No stimuli can be clocked in in No Sync Binary
mode.
TP: So that the switching thresholds of the input interfaces (SYNM0, SYNM1, SERIN, SCLK, NDIR, NINV,
SEEN) can be measured the signals are EXORed
and output at pin NERR. To this end pin NERR is
switched as a push-pull output.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
If a stable SSI output level is required all MSBs used
in the synchronization chain must be switched to the
relevant outputs on the first falling edge. The iC-LV
chain should also be synchronized in its entirety before the first rising edge of SCLK.
To guarantee functionality it is sufficient for synchronization to be completed by the second falling edge of
SCLK; SOUT is, however, then not stable for half a
clock cycle. Despite this limitation it is also possible to
synchronize with MSBs which are only output on the
first rising SCLK edge (e.g. from external SSI-compatible devices).
In the synchronization modes all of the information is
output after just 4 rising clock edges per chained iCLV.
In keeping with the required SSI clock frequency the
time span of the internal monoflop, used to detect idle
times on the clock line, can be adjusted by externally
connecting pin RC to an RC network. Should pin RC
remain unconnected, tmf (Electrical Characteristics
No. 603) is taken as the internal time span.
Note: iC-LV stores input data received at SERIN on
the falling edge of SCLK and outputs data via SOUT
on the rising edge of SCLK.
Figure 3 gives signal patterns for a cascade of three
iC-LVs.
