AEAT-9000-1GSH0 (Full Option) Ultra-precision 17-Bit Absolute Single Turn Encoder Data Sheet Description Features Avago Technologies' AEAT-9000 series are high resolution single turn optical absolute encoders. They are designed to allows users to achieve superior positioning performance in terms of speed and accuracy performance. The modular package enables the encoder to be directly integrated to the motor unlike conventional encoders. As a result, users can expect cost savings and better performance of the overall system. * 17-bit absolute single turn output (131072 absolute positions over 360) The AEAT-9000 addresses key qualities that are motorrelated such as position accuracy, speed stability, and bandwidth which determine command-signal response, disturbance rejection capability, power loss, size, and quietness. They are capable of the industry's best accuracy for an absolute encoder. * On-chip interpolation and code correction compensate for mounting tolerance The AEAT-9000 is a modular absolute encoder that consists of a read head module and a high-precision code disc [(HEDG-9000-H13 & HEDG-9000-H14) which is ordered separately]. The modular design allows for better flexibility to system designers to easily design-in the encoder feedback system. * Error output for LED degradation NOTE: Avago Technologies encoders are not recommended for use in safety critical applications, e.g., ABS braking systems, power steering, life support systems and critical care medical equipment.

When NSL = 0, it is in the shift mode of the internal registers and with the SCL clock pin, the register will be clocked with related frequency required. Set NSL sequence correctly: NSL set "high" before Power On and when read data output then only pull NSL to ground. NSL to be triggered low before the SCL clock can reach the encoder to read out the positional data output. Additional note - To avoid any potential power on sequence timing issue follow these instructions: With the NSL tied high, trigger the nRST (pin 26) low (toggle the nReset pin) for about 1 us before switching back to high. "NSL must be held high until the release of the nReset". In a typical application, hold the NSL high about 1 us before the clock begins (or long enough to meet the minimum 500ns requirement). 3 Theory of Operation 1. The AEAT-9000 encoder consists of 13 differential absolute track signals. 12 tracks generated from code wheel and track number 13 is generating from the analogue sine of the incremental track. 2. 8 photo sensors are used for analog Sine+, Sine, Cosine+, Cosine- signal generation with 90 phase shift. The analog signals are calibrated to correct the offset and gain via SPI interface. The offset and gain values will be preloaded into internal memory. After signal conditioning, the encoder performs on chip interpolation to generate an additional 4bit absolute output (D-1~D-4) and synchronizes with the 13 absolute track to make up a 17 bits absolute encoder. The analog signals are true differential signals with a frequency response of 500 kHz, enabling output position data to be read at high speed. 3. An additional sensor is used for radial alignment. Sensor Locate will output at LocTest pin and is enabled using SPI interface during alignment mode. 4. Besides that, the inner and outer tracks are used for tilt angle measurement, by generation of pulses via TiltOut pin. The TiltOut pulse width will be used to determine the tilt angle. 5. A Zero_RST pin is used to allow the encoder to set zero position at any position. The encoder stores this preset value into the internal memory and indicates the new position information with reference to the preset value every time data is read out. The Zero reset function is enabled when Zero_RST pin is pulled to ground. 1. Write address 0x11 with 1010 1011 to unlock the register. 2.

Alignment between read heard and the codewheel. 4 D1 is used to align the code disk to the encoder chip in radial axes. For the sensor tilt alignment, the TiltOut signal is monitored. An output pulse is generated via TiltOut pin as shown below in Figure 5. At nominal position the t/T will be at the ratio of 0.0078 at any motor spinning speed. After alignment is done, an SPI command is sent to set the same address (0x10) with 0000 0001 or a power cycle is performed to set back the register to the default value of 0000 0001. 0 180 DOUT, SCL, NSL (3wire/2 wire SSI) 360 The absolute position is serially streamed out using SSI protocol. The most significant bit, MSB (D17) will always be sent first from the DOUT pin. The positional data can be inverted (i.e. count down instead of up) with MSBINV pulled to high. By default it will be low once powered on. t T TiltOut Figure 5. TiltOut signal in alignment mode. LED regulation The LED regulation control unit keeps the LED power perceived by the PDA constant regardless of temperature or aging effects. It also acts to stabilize the amplitudes of the Sine/Cosine signals. If the power control exceeds the operating range the LERR pin will be pulled to logic High. The LED power control is generated from the analog tracks, i.e. the Sine/Cosine photo sensors. At high RPM speeds, the LED power control will compensate for signal amplitudes attenuation, and it can drive up to 50 mA maximum current. Sine/Cosine Signal Calibration Due to amplifier mismatch and mechanical misalignment the signals do have gain and offset errors. Once the alignment is done, the encoder will need to be switched to calibration mode, which to correct the single-ended sine and cosine to 2.5 V offset and 1 Vpp amplitude. The signal calibration is done with LED regulation turned off. The sine/cosine signal will driven out through an op-amp where the Vpp will be 0.5Vpp amplitude for a single ended sin/cosine with 2.5 V offset. Calibration is done at Avago in factory prior to ship out, so user can skip this process. Interpolator for Sine & Cosine Channels The interpolator on the Sine/Cosine analog signal generates the digital signal of D-1 to D-4 by a flash A/D conversion; the interpolation value will be synchronized with the 13 digital tracks to generate the 17-bit absolute position value. 5 The NSL pin acts as the chip enable pin. NSL has to be triggered first to low before SCL clock can reach the encoder to read out the positional data. The maximum SCL clock frequency is up to 10 MHz. Valid data of DOUT should be read when the SCL clock is low. Please refer to timing diagram on Figure 1. In some application of point to point interface, 2 wire SSI is use which will eliminate the use of NSL pin. In this case NSL will need to pull to low all times. For 2 wire SSI, the SCL timing will be limited to about 1.5 MHz.The NSL+ pin have to connect to ground and NSL- connect to high voltage at 5V. LERR pin is a general error pin as a feedback to user on some errors such as temperature sensor exceeding operating limit, LED ray is low, and this is an indication when light intensity is at a critical stage affecting the performance of the encoder. It is caused either by contamination of the code disc or LED degradation. Incremental A/B output Besides the absolute position read out, AEAT-9000 also comes with 2 channel incremental output with 2048CPR. These A/B channel is generated from differential Sin/ Cosine. The frequency response of the A/B will be based on the differential Sin/Cosine response with a max of 500 kHz without much degradation on the Vpp amplitude. SPI Interface (SPI_SO, SPI_SI, SPI_CLK) SPI is the interface that is used to configure the internal register settings to turn on alignment mode and calibration mode. During alignment mode, Loctest signal and Tiltout will provide an output to perform alignment. During calibration mode, the SPI interface is used to perform Sine/Cosine gain and offset calibration. It is also used to program the EEPROM once the calibration has been done. To access the SPI register, write the data 1110 1011 to address 0x1b to enable changes on the register setting. This is needed every time the device is power on.
