HEDS-9040/9140
Three Channel Optical Incremental Encoder Modules
Data Sheet
Description
The HEDS-9040 and HEDS-9140 series are three channel
optical incremental encoder modules. When used with a
codewheel, these low cost modules detect rotary position.
Each module consists of a lensed LED source and a detec-
tor IC enclosed in a small plastic package. Due to a highly
collimated light source and a unique photodetector array,
these modules provide the same high performance found
in the HEDS-9000/9100 two channel encoder family.

SIDE B
The HEDS-9040 and 9140 have two channel quadrature
outputs plus a third channel index output. This index
output is a 90 electrical degree high true index pulse
which is generated once for each full rotation of the
codewheel.
The HEDS-9040 is designed for use with a HEDX-614X
codewheel which has an optical radius of 23.36 mm
(0.920 inch). The HEDS-9140 is designed for use with a
HEDx-5x4x codewheel which has an optical radius of
11.00 mm (0.433 inch).
The quadrature signals and the index pulse are accessed
through five 0.025 inch square pins located on 0.1 inch
centers.
Standard resolutions between 256 and 2000 counts per
revolution are available. Consult local Avago sales repre-
sentatives for other resolutions.
Theory of Operation
The HEDS-9040 and 9140 are emitter/detector modules.
Coupled with a codewheel, these modules translate the
rotary motion of a shaft into a three-channel digital out-
put.
As seen in the block diagram, the modules contain a
single Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its light source. The
light is collimated into a parallel beam by means of a
single polycarbonate 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 produce the
digital waveforms.
The codewheel rotates between the emitter and detector,
causing the light beam to be interrupted by the pattern
of spaces and bars on the codewheel. The photodiodes
which detect these interruptions are arranged in a pat-
tern that corresponds to the radius and design of the
codewheel. 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 photo-
diode outputs are then fed through the signal process-
ing circuitry resulting in A, A, B, B, I and I. Comparators
receive these signals and produce the final outputs for
channels A and B. Due to this integrated phasing tech-
nique, the digital output of channel A is in quadrature
with that of channel B (90 degrees out of phase).
The output of the comparator for I and I is sent to the in-
dex processing circuitry along with the outputs of chan-
nels A and B. The final output of channel I is an index
pulse P
O
which is generated once for each full rotation of
the codewheel. This output P
O
is a one state width (nomi-
nally 90 electrical degrees), high true index pulse which
is coincident with the low states of channels A and B.
Applications
The HEDS-9040 and 9140 provide sophisticated motion
control detection at a low cost, making them ideal for
high volume applications. Typical applications include
printers, plotters, tape drives, and industrial and factory
automation equipment.
Note:
Avago Technologies encoders are not recommend-
ed for use in safety critical applications. Eg. ABS braking
systems, power steering, life support systems and critical
care medical equipment. Please contact sales represen-
tative if more clarification is needed.

Definitions
Count (N):
The number of bar and window pairs or counts
per revolution (CPR) of the codewheel.
One Cycle (C):
360 electrical degrees (°e), 1 bar and win-
dow pair.
One Shaft Rotation:
360 mechanical degrees, N cycles.
Position Error (
∆Θ):
The normalized angular difference
between the actual shaft position and the position indi-
cated by the encoder cycle count.
Cycle Error (∆C):
An indication of cycle uniformity. The dif-
ference between an observed shaft angle which gives
rise to one electrical cycle, and the nominal angular in-
crement of 1/N of a revolution.
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 be-
tween 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 electrical 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 oppo-
site direction, channel B will lead channel A.
Optical Radius (R
OP
):
The distance from the codewheel’s
center of rotation to the optical center (O.C.) of the en-
coder module.
Index Pulse Width (P
O
):
The number of electrical degrees
that an index is high during one full shaft rotation. This
value is nominally 90°e or 1/4 cycle.
