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 ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...

RF Solutions has introduced a pair of encoder/decoder ICs for radio-control applications, featuring three independent I/O lines and allowing direct connection of an RF module to simplify design.

At the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) today, Xilinx announced availability of a high definition real-time MPEG4 AVC/H.264 encoder solution leveraging the high-performance features of ...
