The mPCIe-QUAD-8 consists of a type F1 PCI Express Mini Card (mPCIe) interface board that connects to one or two DB-37F Modules via included 9 cables. The modules are designed to be easily panel-mounted in any application environment, and have convenient mounting holes for non-panel-mount applications. Up to eight differential (or single-ended) encoders (each with A, B, and Index) can be monitored simultaneously.

Type ISL32173 differential input circuits provide compatibility with a wide variety of quadrature encoder outputs.

The LSI/CSI LS7766 features:

  • 32-bit quadrature counters support x1, x2, and x4 counting modes, or can be used as non-quadrature up/down counters
  • Quadrature frequencies up to 9.6MHz
  • 4.5MHz when powered with 3.3VDC
  • Non-quadrature frequencies up to 40MHz when powered with 5VDC
  • 20MHz when powered with 3.3VDC
  • Programmable index and marker flags (carry, borrow, sign & compare)
  • Enable/disable sources generating IRQžs
  • Programmable count modes: Normal (free-run) / Modulo-N / Range Limit / Non-Recycle, Binary / BCD
  • The mPCIe-QUAD cards are well suited for use in industrial and embedded environments and factory locations.
