Alfatron Electronics, the Raleigh, N.C.-based, manufacturer, has introduced the ALF-IPK1HE 4K Networked Encoder and ALF-IPK1HD 4K Networked Decoder, designed for distributing high-quality AV signals ...

I wrote a bit of VHDL for generating inc/dec pulses from quadrature rotary encoders like the CTS Electrocomponents ones I bought from Digikey for a project I worked on recently. This debounce circuit ...

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a fascinating noninvasive technique that measures and records the brain's electrical activity. It detects small electrical signals produced when neurons in the brain ...

Making your own infrared (IR) sniffer is not only rewarding but also amazingly simple. I’m talking about an IR decoder/encoder that primarily decodes the invisible data transmitting from an IR remote ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. In many applications, accurately sensing the position of an electrically controlled mechanical device such as a motor is critical.

Encoders are widely used to help control machine position and speed. Typical encoder output, a series of quadrature signals, consists of two full square waves, offset by 90° in phase. The number of ...
