The Package Dimensions Mounting Option #50 - Standard (Baseplane Mounting) Contact Factory for Detailed Package Dimensions ESD WARNING; NORMAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE. 2 module consists of a lensed LED source and a detector IC enclosed in a small C-shaped plastic package. Due to a highly collimated light source and a unique photodetector array, the module is extremely tolerant to mounting misalignment. The two channel digital outputs and 5V supply input are accessed through four solder-plated leads located on 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) centers. The standard HEDS-9700 is designed for use with an 11 mm optical radius codewheel, or linear codestrip. Other options are available. Please contact factory for more information. Applications The HEDS-9700 provides sophisticated motion detection at a low cost, making closed-loop control very cost-competitive! Block Diagram Typical applications include printers, plotters, copiers, and office automation equipment. Theory of Operation The HEDS-9700 is a C-shaped emitter/detector module. Coupled with a codewheel, it translates rotary motion into a two-channel digital output. Coupled with a codestrip, it translates linear motion into a digital output. As seen in the block diagram, the module contains a single Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its light source. The light is collimated into a parallel beam by means of a single 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 necessary to produce the digital waveforms. The codewheel/codestrip moves between the emitter and detector, causing the light beam to be interrupted by the pattern of spaces and bars on the codewheel/codestrip. The photodiodes which detect these interruptions are arranged in a pattern that corresponds to the radius and count density of the codewheel/ codestrip. These detectors are also spaced such that a light period on one pair of detectors corresponds to a dark period on the adjacent pair of detectors. The photodiode outputs are fed through the signal processing circuitry. Two comparators receive these signals and produce the final outputs for channels A and B. Due to this integrated phasing technique, the digital output of channel A is in quadrature with channel B (90 degrees out of phase). 3 Output Waveforms A and the neighboring transition in the output of channel B. There are 4 states per cycle, each nominally 90°e. State Width Error (∆S): The deviation, in electrical degrees, of each state width from its ideal value of 90°e. Phase (φ): The number of electrical degrees between the center of the high state of channel A and the center of the high state of channel B. This value is nominally 90°e for quadrature output. Definitions Count (N) = The number of bar and window pairs or counts per revolution (CPR) of the codewheel, or the number of lines per inch of the codestrip (LPI). Pulse Width (P): The number of electrical degrees that an output is high during one cycle. This value is nominally 180°e or 1/2 cycle. 1 Shaft Rotation = 360 mechanical degrees = N cycles 1 cycle (c) = 360 electrical degrees (°e) = 1 bar and window pair Pulse Width Error (∆P): The deviation, in electrical degrees, of the pulse width from its ideal value of 180°e. State Width (S): The number of electrical degrees between a transition in the output of channel Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol Min. Max.

Phase Error (∆φ): The deviation of the phase from its ideal value of 90°e. Direction of Rotation: When the codewheel rotates counterclockwise, as viewed looking down on the module (so the marking is visible), channel A will lead channel B. If the codewheel rotates in the opposite direction, channel B will lead channel A. Optical Radius (Rop): The distance from the codewheel’s center of rotation to the optical center (O.C.) of the encoder module. 4 Recommended Operating Conditions Parameter Symbol Min. Max.
