DESCRIPTION:
The LS7183 and LS7184 are monolithic CMOS silicon gate
quadrature clock converters. Quadrature clocks derived from
optical or magnetic encoders, when applied to the A and B
inputs of the LS7183/LS7184, are converted to strings of Up
Clocks and Down Clocks (LS7183) or to a Clock and an Up/
Down direction control (LS7184). These outputs can be in-
terfaced directly with standard Up/Down counters for direc-
tion and position sensing of the encoder.
INPUT/OUTPUT DESCRIPTION:
RBIAS
(Pin 1)
Input for external component connection. A resistor connected
between this input and V
SS
adjusts the output clock pulse
width (Tow).
V
DD
(Pin 2)
Supply Voltage positive terminal.
V
SS
(Pin 3
)
Supply Voltage negative terminal.
A, B
(Pin 4, Pin 5)
Quadrature Clock inputs A and B. Directional output pulses are
generated from the A and B clocks according to Fig. 2. A and B
inputs have built-in immunity for noise signals less than 50ns
duration (Validation delay, T
VD
). The A and B inputs are in-
hibited during the occurrence of a directional output clock
(UPCK or DNCK), so that spurious clocks resulting from en-
coder dither are rejected.
MODE
(Pin 6)
MODE is a 3-state input to select resolution x1, x2 or x4. The
input quadrature clock rate is multiplied by factors of 1, 2 and 4
in x1, x2 and x4 mode respectively in producing the output
UP/DN clocks (See Fig. 2). x1, x2 and x4 modes selected by
the MODE input logic levels are as follows:
Mode = 0
: x1 selected
Mode = 1
: x2 selected
Mode = Float : x4 selected

FIGURE 1
LS7183 - DNCK
(Pin 7)
In LS7183, this is the DOWN Clock Output. This output
consists of low-going pulses generated when A input
lags the B input.
LS7184LV - UP/DN
(Pin 7)
In LS7184, this is the count direction indication output.
When A input leads the B input, the UP/DN output goes
high indicating that the count direction is UP. When A
input lags the B input, UP/DN output goes low,
indicating that the count direction is DOWN.
LS7183 - UPCK
(Pin 8)
In LS7083LV, this is the UP Clock output. This output
consists of low-going pulses generated when A input
leads the B input.
LS7184 - CLK
(Pin 8)
In LS7184, this is the combined UP Clock and DOWN
Clock output. The count direction at any instant is
indicated by the UP/DN output (Pin 7).
NOTE:
For the LS7184, the timing of CLK and UP/DN
requires that the counter interfacing with LS7184 counts
on the rising edge of the CLK pulses.
