AEDR-8300 Series

Reflective Surface Mount Optical Encoder

Description

The AEDR-8300 series is the smallest optical encoder employing reflective technology for motion control purposes. The encoder houses an LED light source and a photo-detecting circuitry in a single package.

The AEDS-8300 series offers options of either single channel or two-channel quadrature digital outputs. Being TTL compatible, the outputs of the AEDR-8300 series can be interfaced directly with most of the signal processing circuitries. Hence the encoder provides great design-in flexibility and easy integration into existing systems. The AEDR-8300 series is available in four resolutions, namely 36, 75, 150 and 180 lines per inch (LPI) (1.42, 2.95, 5.91 and 7.09 lines per mm respectively). This range of resolutions caters for different design and application needs.

Applications

The AEDR-8300 series provides motion sensing at a competitive cost, making it ideal for high volume applications. Its small size and surface mount package make it ideal for printers, copiers, card readers and many consumer products, particularly where space and weigh are design constraint.
