I wrote up a piece about AustriaMicrosystems’ 12 bit hall-effect rotary encoder and the ebullient and cheerful Mary Bohenek was nice enough to send me a demo board. This thing is a blast—imagine ...

1. This optimised analogue-conditioning circuit can avoid signal distortion caused by nonlinearities, and guarantee an optimum interface between the encoder and ADC.

When any of the inputs is asserted the encoder wakes from its 0.1nA idle mode, encodes the detected combination of inputs, and prepares a packet for RF transmission. The RF803D decoder, which is used ...
