Quadrature Clock Converter ICs help ease MCU burden.
October 14, 2009 -
Models LS7082N1/LS7083N/LS7084N/LS7183N/LS7184N interface between incremental encoders and counting devices by converting encoder quadrature outputs into directional up/down clocks or clock and direction signals for driving counting devices. When interfaced with MCUs, devices can free up resources by relieving computational burden used for decoding quadrature signals. ICs offer x1, x2, or x4 frequency multiplication of quadrature clock as well as programmable output clock pulse width.

Quadrature Clock Converter Integrated Circuits
Melville, NY, October 9, 2009 - LSI/CSI announces the addition of five new devices to its family of Quadrature Clock Converter ICs. Designated LS7082N1, LS7083N, LS7084N, LS7183N and LS7184N, these devices are designed to interface between incremental encoders and counting devices by converting the encoder quadrature outputs into directional up/down clocks or clock and direction signals for driving the counting devices. When interfaced with microcontrollers, these devices can free up the resources of a microcontroller by relieving its computational burden used for decoding the quadrature signals. This is especially true at high speeds where the microcontroller becomes an unwieldy tool in performing the task effectively.
According to Peter J. Visconti, LSI's VP of Sales & Marketing, besides their primary application in motion control systems, these devices can be used in a variety of systems requiring control with directional clocks. One such application is replacing a mechanical potentiometer with a precision control comprised of a Rotary Encoder, Quadrature Clock Converter and Digital Potentiometer (think audio volume control, etc).
These new Quadrature Clock Converters are backward compatible with their respective older versions, LS7082N, LS7083, LS7084, LS7183 and LS7184, while providing an enhanced feature set.
Features include:
x1, x2 or x4 frequency multiplication of the quadrature clock
Up-clock and down-clock outputs or clock and direction outputs
Programmable output clock pulse width
On-chip filtering of quadrature inputs for added reliability
Up to 16MHz output clock frequency
3V to 12V operation
TTL and CMOS compatibility
LS7082N1 is available in 14-Pin DIP and SOIC packages.
Unit price in 1k quantity is $1.45.
LS7083N, LS7084N, LS7183N and LS7184N are available in 8-Pin DIP and SOIC
Unit price in 1k quantity is $1.25.
