Broadcom 5V dc Optical Encoder, Surface, Surface Mount

Broadcom AEDR-872x Series Optical Encoder, 5V DC Supply Voltage, 2 Channel Quadrature with Index Digital Encoder Signal - AEDR-8723-102

This optical encoder provides incremental position feedback for motion-control systems, converting rotary motion into digital quadrature signals with an index pulse. It is intended for surface-mounted installations where low-voltage operation and Compact mounting are required, delivering two-channel digital output suitable for precise speed and direction sensing in electronic assemblies.

Features and Benefits:

• 5Vdc supply enables low-voltage system integration
  Two-channel quadrature with index delivers position and reference Pulse
  Surface-mount termination minimises assembly footprint
  Incremental sensing supports real-time speed monitoring
  Low current options reduce power draw during operation

Applications

• Suitable for rotary position feedback in motion-control systems
  Ideal for encoder boards requiring surface-mount packages
  Used for speed sensing in Compact DC-driven actuators
  Can be used for electronic systems needing index reference
  Suited to designs requiring low current consumption options

What signal types are provided for position tracking?

It produces two quadrature channels Plus a separate index digital output to indicate a reference position.

What options exist for current consumption?

Two current ratings are available to match power budgets, specified at 27 mA and 60 mA.

How is the device mounted on a circuit?

The unit uses surface-mount termination and is intended for attachment to a PCB by SMD assembly techniques.
