Description
The HEDT-9000 and the HEDT-
9100 series are high
performance, low cost, optical
incremental encoder modules that
operate to 125°C. When used with
a codewheel, these modules
detect rotary position. The
modules consist of a lensed (LED)
source and a detector IC enclosed
in a small C-shaped plastic pack-
age. Due to a highly collimated
light source and unique
photodetector array, these
modules are extremely tolerant to
mounting misalignment.
The two channel digital outputs
and the single 5 V supply input
are accessed through five 0.025
inch square pins located on 0.1
inch centers.
ESD WARNING: NORMAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID STATIC
DISCHARGE.

Standard resolutions for the
HEDT-9000 are 500 CPR and
1000 CPR for use with a HEDS-
6100 codewheel or equivalent.
For the HEDT-9100, standard
resolutions between 96 CPR and
512 CPR are available for use
with a HEDS-5120 codewheel or
equivalent.
Applications
The HEDT-9000 and 9100
provide sophisticated motion
detection at a low cost, at
temperatures to 125°C, making
them ideal for high volume
automotive applications.
Note: Agilent Technologies
encoders are not recommended
for use in safety critical
applications. Eg. ABS braking
systems, power steering, life
support systems and critical care
medical equipment. Please
contact sales representative if
more clarification is needed.
Theory of Operation
The HEDT-9000 and 9100 are C-
shaped emitter/detector modules.
Coupled with a codewheel, they
translate the rotary motion of a
shaft into a two-channel digital
output.
As seen in the block diagram,
each module contains a single
Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its
light source. The light is
collimated into a parallel beam by
means of a single polyetherimide
lens located directly over the
LED. Opposite the emitter is the
integrated detector circuit. This
IC consists of multiple sets of
photodetectors and the signal
processing circuitry necessary to
product the digital waveforms.
The codewheel rotates between
the emitter and detector, causing
the light beam to be interrupted
Block Diagram
Output Waveforms
by the pattern of spaces and bars
on the codewheel. The
photodiodes which detect these
interruptions are arranged in a
pattern that corresponds to the
radius and design of the code-
wheel. These detectors are also
spaced such that a light period on
one pair of detectors corresponds
to a dark period on the adjacent
pair of detectors. The photodiode
outputs are then fed through the
signal processing circuitry
resulting in A, A, B, and B. Two
comparators receive these signals
and produce the final outputs for
channels A and B. Due to this
integrated phasing technique, the
digital output of channel A is in
quadrature with that of channel B
(90 degrees out of phase).
Definitions
Count (N): The number of bar
and window pairs or counts per
revolution (CPR) of the
codewheel.

Pulse Width (P): The number of
electrical degrees that an output
is high during 1 cycle. This value
is nominally 180°e or 1/2 cycle.
Pulse Width Error (
P): The
deviation, in electrical degrees of
the pulse width from its ideal
value of 180°e.
State Width (S): The number of
electrical degrees between a
transition in the output of channel
A and the neighboring transition
in the output of channel B. There
are 4 states per cycle, each
nominally 90°e.
State Width Error (
S): The
deviation, in electrical degrees, of
each state width from its ideal
value of 90°e.
Phase (
φ
): The number of elec-
trical degrees between the center
of the high state of channel A and
the center of the high state of
channel B. This value is nominally
90°e for quadrature output.
Phase Error (
∆φ
): The deviation
of the phase from its ideal value
of 90°e.
Direction of Rotation: When the
codewheel rotates in the direction
of the arrow on top of the
module, channel A will lead
channel B. If the codewheel
rotates in the opposite direction,
channel B will lead channel A.
Optical Radius (Rop): The dis-
tance from the codewheel’s center
of rotation to the optical center
(O.C.) of the encoder module.
