Timing Waveform

Values K1 and K0 in the response are checkbits. The checkbits are odd parity over the odd and even bits in the position response shown in

the equation below. The checkbits are not part of the position, but are used to verify its validity. The lower 14 bits are the encoder position.

Example:

Full response: 0x61AB

14-bit position: 0x21AB (8619 decimal)

Checkbit Formula

Odd: K1 = !(H5^H3^H1^L7^L5^L3^L1)

Even: K0 = !(H4^H2^H0^L6^L4^L2^L0)

From the above response 0x61AB:

Odd: 0 = !(1^0^0^1^1^1^1) = correct

Even: 1 = !(0^0^1^0^0^0^1) = correct

For 12-bit applications L0 and L1 are always 0. Because the low two bits are 0, 12-bit data will need right-shifted two bits. The checkbit

calculation remains the same and unaffected.
