Data rate depends on both resolution and cable length. When interrogated, the encoder begins to transfer its gray or binary-code output, one bit per clock pulse, beginning with the most ...

Tracks on absolute encoders often are arranged to produce a binary output called Gray code. The advantage of Gray code over straight binary is that only one bit changes at a time. Thus ...

Designed for the 2-bit gray-code encoder sequence (Figure 1b), using a table to provide the state-sequence processing allows you to modify the design to accommodate other encoder output sequences.
