How the quadrature decoder/counter works..

 

.

The counter keeps a running count of how far the encoder has moved.

The decoder increments a 32-bit counter when a state change is found in the positive direction.

The decoder decrements a 32-bit counter when a state change is found in the other direction.

When the programmed number reaches the terminal count, the counter is reset and an interrupt is generated to the CPU. The CPU can also read the counter directly to sense the direction of the motor.

This diagram shows a typical application of the quadrature decoder/counter:

Digital filter

To ensure the precision and quality of the quadrature decoder/counter, a digital filter

 

rejects noise on the incoming quadrature signals using three-clock-cycle delayed

 

filtering. The three-clock-cycle delay filter rejects large and short duration noise

 

spikes that typically occur in motor system applications.

Testing signals

Each signal is sampled on rising clock edges. A time history of the signals is stored in

 

a four-bit shift register. Any signal is tested for a stable level that is present for

 

three consecutive rising clock edges. With this method, pulses shorter than a two-

 

clock period are rejected.

Timer support

Timer counter 5 supports the sampling clock and the counters.
