AEDR-8300 Series Encoders
Reflective Surface Mount Optical Encoder
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The AEDR-8300 series is the smallest optical encoder
employing reflective technology for motion control
purposes. The encoder houses an LED light source and
a photo-detecting circuitry in a single package.
• Reflective technology
The AEDS-8300 series offers options of either single
channel or two-channel quadrature digital outputs.
Being TTL compatible, the outputs of the AEDR-8300
series can be interfaced directly with most of the signal
processing circuitries. Hence the encoder provides great
design-in flexibility and easy integration into existing
systems. The AEDR-8300 series is available in four resolutions, namely 36, 75, 150 and 180 lines per inch (LPI)
(1.42, 2.95, 5.91 and 7.09 lines per mm respectively).
This range of resolutions caters for different design and
application needs.
• Two channel quadrature outputs for direction sensing
Applications
The AEDR-8300 series provides motion sensing at a
competitive cost, making it ideal for high volume applications. Its small size and surface mount package make
it ideal for printers, copiers, card readers and many consumer products, particularly where space and weigh are
design constraint.
Note: All specifications are subject to change without prior notification.
• Surface mount small outline leadless package
• Single channel incremental output
• TTL compatible output
• Single 5V supply
• -20oC to 85oC absolute operating temperature
• Encoding resolution options:
36, 75, 150, 180 (lines/inch) or 1.42, 2.95, 5.91, 7.09
(lines/mm)
Theory of Operation
Definitions
The AEDR-8300 series combines an emitter and a detector in a single surface mount leadless package. When
used with a codewheel or linear codestrip, the encoder
translates rotary or linear motion into digital outputs.
As seen in the block diagram, the AEDR-8300 consists
of three major components: a light emitting diode (LED)
light source, a detector IC consisting photodiodes and
lens to focus light beam from the emitter as well as light
falling on the detector.
State Width (S): The number of electrical degrees between a transition in Channel A and the neighboring
transition in Channel B. There are 4 states per cycle,
each nominally 90oe.
The operation of the encoder is based on the principle
of optics where the detector photodiodes sense the absence and presence of light. In this case, the rotary/linear motion of an object being monitored is converted
to equivalent light pattern via the use of codewheel/
codestrip. As shown in the diagram below, the reflective
area (window) of the codewheel (or codestrip) reflects
light back to the photodetector IC, whereas no light is
reflected by the non-reflective area (bar). An alternating
light and dark patterns corresponding to the window
and bar fall on the photodiodes as the codewheel rotates. The moving light pattern is exploited by the detector circuitry to produce digital outputs representing
the rotation of the codewheel. When the codewheel is
coupled to a motor, the encoder outputs is then a direct
representation of the motor rotation. The same concept
applies to the use of a codestrip to detect linear motion.

Phase (φ): The number of electrical degrees between
the center of high state of Channel A and the center of
high state of Channel B. Nominally 90oe.
Phase Error (∆φ): The deviation of phase, in electrical
degree, from its ideal value of 90oe.
Pulse Width (P): The duration of high state of the output, in electrical degree, within one cycle. Nominally
180oe or half a cycle.
Pulse Width Error (∆P): The deviation of pulse width, in
electrical degree, from its ideal value of 180oe.
Count (N): The number of window and bar pair per revolution (CPR) of codewheel. For linear codestrip, defined
as the number of window and bar pair per unit length
(lines per inch [LPI] or lines per mm [LPmm]).
One Cycle (C): 360 electrical degrees (oe). Equivalent to
one window and bar pair.

Line Density: The number of window and bar pair per
unit length, expressed in either lines per inch (LPI) or

Notes:
1. Exposure to extreme light intensity (such as from flashbulbs or spotlights) may cause permanent damage to the device.
2. CAUTION: It is advised that normal static precautions should be taken when handling the encoder in order to avoid damage and/or degradation induced by ESD.
3. Proper operation of the encoder cannot be guaranteed if the maximum ratings are exceeded.

LED Current Limiting Resistor
Moisture Sensitive Level
A resistor to limit current to the LED is required. The
recommended value is 220W (±10 %) and the resistor
should be placed in series between the 5V supply and
pin 3 of the device (Vled). This will result in an LED current of approximately 15 mA.
The AEDR-8300 series is specified to moisture sensitive
level (MSL) 3.

Encoder Orientation
The AEDR-8300 series is designed such that both the
LED and detector IC should be placed parallel to the
window/bar orientation, as shown. As such, the encoder is tolerant against radial play of ±0.38 mm. The
emitter side (pins 3 and 4) should be placed closer to
the rotating shaft.

to differentiate resolutions. The details are:
