  2. Encoder (digital) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoder_(digital)

    An encoder (or "simple encoder") in digital electronics is a one-hot to binary converter. That is, if there are 2 n input lines, and at most only one of them will ever be high, the binary code of this 'hot' line is produced on the n -bit output lines. A binary encoder is the dual of a binary decoder . If the input circuit can guarantee at most ...

  3. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    This scheme can also be referred to as Simple Binary-Coded Decimal (SBCD) or BCD 8421, and is the most common encoding. [12] Others include the so-called "4221" and "7421" encoding – named after the weighting used for the bits – and "Excess-3". [13]

  4. Gray code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code

    A Gray code absolute rotary encoder with 13 tracks. Housing, interrupter disk, and light source are in the top; sensing element and support components are in the bottom. Gray codes are used in linear and rotary position encoders ( absolute encoders and quadrature encoders) in preference to weighted binary encoding.

  5. Binary decoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_decoder

    Binary decoder. In digital electronics, a binary decoder is a combinational logic circuit that converts binary information from the n coded inputs to a maximum of 2 n unique outputs. They are used in a wide variety of applications, including instruction decoding, data multiplexing and data demultiplexing, seven segment displays, and as address ...

  6. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

    A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO) or motion controller. The encoder can be either incremental or absolute.

  7. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

    v. t. e. In mathematics and computing, the hexadecimal (also base-16 or simply hex) numeral system is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent ...

  8. Dynamic range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range

    Dynamic range (abbreviated DR, DNR, [ 1] or DYR[ 2]) is the ratio between the largest and smallest values that a certain quantity can assume. It is often used in the context of signals, like sound and light. It is measured either as a ratio or as a base-10 ( decibel) or base-2 (doublings, bits or stops) logarithmic value of the ratio between ...

  9. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    An incremental encoder is a linear or rotary electromechanical device that has two output signals, A and B, which issue pulses when the device is moved. [ 1] Together, the A and B signals indicate both the occurrence of and direction of movement. Many incremental encoders have an additional output signal, typically designated index[ 2] or Z ...
