SI251 

SINE / COSINE INTERPOLATOR 

SI251: Format 40 x 80 mm 

• Suitable for conversion of the sine signals (1 Vpp) generated 

by a sine/cosine encoder to incremental impulse signals 

• Sine input frequency up to 400 kHz 

• Quadrature square-wave output up to 4 MHz (TTL A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z) 

• Additional HTL outputs A, B, Z, 10 – 30 V push-pull 

• Interpolation factor programmable from x5 to x50 

• Programmable divider to reduce the output frequency if applicable 

• Selectable glitch filter 

IT251 

PROGRAMMABLE FREQUENCY DIVIDER 

• Quadrature frequency divider, for error-free division of incremental 

encoder signals (A/B, 90°), with programmable ratio 1:1 to 1:4096 

• Separately adjustable divider for the encoder marker pulse 

• Selectable between HTL input lines A, B, Z or TTL input lines A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z (RS422) 

• Selectable HTL output channel or TTL output channel, both with signals 

A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z, therefore also suitable as level converter 

• Programmable direction formats (quadrature or static indication) 

IT251: Format 40 x 80 mm 

FM260 

IMPULSE AND FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER 

FM260: Format 72 x 91 mm 

• Incremental encoder input A, /A, B, /B for TTL levels and 

HTL levels up to 30 V 

• Impulse output A, /A, B, /B, Z, /Z with remote supply for output levels 5 – 30 V 

• Programmable marker pulse output 

• Provides multiplication of the input pulses with a proportional and 

a reciprocal factor, both adjustable in a range from 0.0001 to 9.9999 

• Error-free multiplication, impulse by impulse, under full consideration 

of the A/B direction. Therefore also no cumulative errors 

• Maximum frequency 1 MHz (input and output) 

• Easy setup by front keys and LCD menu, RS232 link and USB port
