Avago Technologies Delivers 12-/16-bit Quadrature Decoder/Counter Interface ICs for Consumer, Office and Industrial Applications; Devices Include RoHS-Compliant Lead-Free Versions.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. today announced it is shipping production volumes of 12- and 16-bit quadrature quadrature, in astronomy, arrangement of two celestial bodies at right angles to each other as viewed from a reference point. If the reference point is the earth and the sun is one of the bodies, a planet is in quadrature when its elongation is 90°. decoder/counter interface ICs to manufacturers of consumer, office and industrial products. Major applications for these ICs include home appliances, printers, fax machines, photo copiers, test and measurement equipment, and servo and stepper motors. The devices are offered in several package options, including RoHS-compliant lead-free, plastic dual-inline packages (PDIP (Plastic DIP) See DIP. ). The Avago HCTL-20xx series ICs feature 14-MHz clock speed and are designed to improve system performance in digital closed loop motion control systems and digital data input systems by shifting time-intensive quadrature decoder functions from software on a microprocessor to a cost-effective hardware solution. The ICs are used to interface rotary or linear quadrature incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged. Incremental cost is additional or increased cost of an item or service apart from its actual cost. encoders to microprocessors and to interface digital potentiometers to digital data input buses. "The new HCTL-20xx series ICs are drop-in replacements for our popular HCTL-2000, HCTL-2016 and HCTL-2020 devices," said Chong Khin Mien, vice president for the Motion Control Products Division at Avago Technologies. "They offer much higher frequency for improved system performance and are available in environmental friendly RoHS-compliant packages." The HCTL-20xx series ICs include quadrature decoder logic, a binary up/down state counter, and an 8-bit bus interface.

It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. inputs and input noise filters provides reliable operation in noisy environments. The ICs are available in the following versions: --The HCTL-2001-A00 is a 12-bit counter/quadrature decoder available in a low-profile dual-inline on PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. package (LP) and in a lead-free PDIP. --The HCTL-2017-A00 is a 16-bit counter/quadrature decoder available in the LP package, plastic leaded chip carrier A Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) is a four-sided “J”-leaded plastic integrated circuit package with pin spacings of 0.05" (1.27 mm). Lead counts range from 20 to 84. PLCC packages can be square or rectangular. Body widths range from .35" to 1.15". (PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) A plastic, square, surface mount chip package that contains leads on all four sides. The leads (pins) extend down and back under and into tiny indentations in the housing. See chip package. ) and lead-free PDIP. --The HCTL-2021-A00 is a 16-bit counter/quadrature decoder available in the LP, PLCC, and lead-free PDIP packages. It provides quadrature decoder output signals and a cascading capability that allows for position reads of more than 2 bytes by latching all the bytes and then reading the bytes sequentially over the 8-bit bus. This permits the HCTL-2021 to interface with many standard computer ICs. U.S. Pricing and Availability The Avago HCTL-20xx series ICs are priced at $8.01 each in 15,000- to 39,999-piece quantities and are available now in sample and production quantities through Avago's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners.
