AEDR-871x
3-Channel High Resolution Reflective Incremental Encoder
(Digital Outputs)
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The AEDR-871x encoder is the smallest 3-channel optical encoder with digital outputs that employs Reflective
Technology for motion control.
• World's smallest 3-channel reflective technology
encoder
The encoder is designed to operate over the -20 °C to 85
°C temperature range and so is suitable for both commercial and industrial applications.
• Digital Output option - 3 channels TTL compatible; 2
channel quadrature (AB) digital outputs for direction
sensing and a third channel, Index digital output. Builtin interpolator for 4×, 8× and 16× interpolation.
AEDR-871x offers high resolution (318 LPI) with built-in
interpolation, enabling great flexibility and versatility in
resolution range.
• Surface mount leadless package 3.95 mm (L) × 3.4 mm
(W) × 0.9562 mm (H)
The compact dimensions of 3.95 mm (L) × 3.4 mm (W) ×
0.9562 mm (H) coupled with the low operating 3.3 V option allows it to be used in a wide range of miniature commercial applications and portable devices in which space
and power consumption is a primary concern.
• Built-in LED current regulation, removing need for
external biasing resistor
AEDR-871x encoder offers two-channel (AB) quadrature
digital outputs and a third channel, index digital outputs.
Being TTL compatible, the outputs of the AEDR-871x encoder can be interfaced directly with most of the signal
processing circuitries. Therefore, the encoder provides
great design-in flexibility and easy integration into existing systems.
• Operating voltage of 3.3 V or 5 V supply
• -20 °C to 85 °C absolute operating temperature
• Encoding resolution: 318 (lines/inch, LPI)
Applications
Ideal for high volume applications:
• Miniature motors
• Printers and copiers
• Card readers
• Miniature camera module
• Portable measurement devices
• Healthcare, lab diagnostic equipment and portable
devices
• Optometric equipment
• Consumer and industrial product applications

This interpolation factor may be used in conjunction with the following formula to cater to the need for various rotation
speeds (RPM) and counts.
RPM = (Count Frequency × 60 )/CPR
The CPR (@1× interpolation) is based on the following formula, which is directly dependent on ROP:
CPR = LPI × 2π x ROP (inch) or CPR = LPmm × 2π × ROP (mm)
Note: LPmm (lines per mm) = LPI/25.4
Recommended Setup For the Power Supply Pins
Connect both VDDD, VDDA and their corresponding grounds (AGND and DGND) appropriately as follows. It is recommended that you use 22 µF and 0.1 µF for bypass capacitor on VDDD and VDDA and place them in parallel as close as
possible to the power and the ground pins.

Codewheel Design Guideline
The index bar (I-) track is opaque and the width is 3 × WB°. The Index (I) track is reflective and the width is 3 × WW°. The
dimension LW should be at least 1.8 mm. (Note: If LW shorter than 1.8 mm is required, please consult factory) There are 6
pairs of incremental track (1 pair= 1 WB° and 1 WW°) between opaque and reflective index tracks.

Note: The overall physical track count is reduced but not the counts per revolution (CPR). The CPR remains the same because the count during this index transition is generated by an intelligent signal processing circuit.

Encoder Placement Orientation and Positioning
The AEDR-871x is designed such that both the emitter and the detector ICs are placed parallel to the window/bar orientation, with the encoder mounted on top of the codewheel (see below right). When properly oriented, the detector side
will be closer to the center of codewheel than the emitter. More importantly, the center of the lens of the encoder unit
must be aligned with the codewheel (ROP), or more specifically tangential to the center point of LW (1/2 of the length of
window).

Direction of Movement
With the detector side of the encoder placed closer to the codewheel (see picture on the previous page), Channel A
leads Channel B when the codewheel rotates anti-clockwise and vice versa (with the encoder mounted on top of the codewheel). The optimal gap setting recommended is between 0.5 to 1.0 mm (see the side view below).

Moisture Sensitivity Level
The AEDR-871x is specified to Moisture Sensitive Level (MSL) 3. Precaution is required to handle this moisture-sensitiveproduct to ensure the reliability of the product.
Storage before use
• An unopened Moisture Barrier Bag (MBB) can be stored at < 40 °C/90% RH for 12 months.
• It is not recommended that the MBB is opened before assembly.
Control after the MBB is opened
• Encoder that will be subjected to reflow solder must be mounted within 168 hours of factory condition 10% when read at 23 ± 5 °C
• The encoder floor life exceeded 168 hours.
• Recommended baking condition: 60 ± 5 °C for 20 hours (tape and reel), 125 ± 5 °C for 5 hours (loose unit)
