TIP116

4 Channel Quadrature / General Purpose Counter

Application Information

The TIP116 IndustryPack

®

compatible module is primarily

designed for motion control applications, but it is also

applicable as general purpose counter.

The TIP116 offers four channel quadrature / general

purpose counter. Each channel consists of a 32 bit

programmable counter, a 32 bit preload register, a 32 bit

compare register and a 32 bit output latch. The 32 bit

counter can be programmed for quadrature, up-/down or

direction count. In quadrature count mode the counter is

programmable for single, double and quadruple analysis

of the encoder signals. Two special count modes are

available, a cycling 'Divide-by-N' mode and a 'Single-

Cycle' mode.

Additionally four control modes are available via the

control input. The control input can be programmed to

load, latch or reset the counter or it can be used as a gate

for the counter clock.

The level of the three input signals per channel can be

RS422 or TTL. The input signals pass a digital filter for

noise suppression before they are fed into the counter.

The TIP116 also provides a RS422 clock output. The

clock frequency is programmable to 1, 2, 4 or 8 MHz.

A 16 bit down-counter with preload register allows timing

intervals of up to 65ms. It can be used as reference timer

for closed loop applications.

Software support (TIP116-SW-xx) is available for different

operating systems.
