Avago: Small Optical Encoder Modules (HEDS-9710, HEDS-9711 Series)
Description
The HEDS-9700 series is a high performance, low cost, optical incremental encoder module. When operated in conjunction with either a codewheel or codestrip, this module detects rotary or linear position. The 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 photo-detector 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.

Transmissive Encoders
The Transmissive Encoder is an emitter/detector module. Coupled with a code wheel, this transmissive encoder translates rotary motion of a shaft into digital output. The transmissive encoder contains a single Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its light source. The light is collimated into a parallel beam by means of a single polycarbonate 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 code wheel rotates between the emitter and detector of the transmissive encoder, causing the light beam to be interrupted by the pattern of spaces and bars on the code wheel. The photodiodes which detects these interruptions are arranged in a pattern that corresponds to the radius and design of the code wheel. 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. Avago offers an extensive range of transmissive encoders to meet the different needs of a wide variety of applications. Model No.: HEDS-9710, HEDS-9711
