METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURABLE PHOTODETECTOR ARRAY PATTERNING FOR OPTICAL ENCODERS

An encoder device includes an array of detectors that are operable to detect a flux and to generate currents in response to the detection; multiple current lines for conducting currents; a set of switches coupled between the array of detectors and the multiple current lines such that an output of ea...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An encoder device includes an array of detectors that are operable to detect a flux and to generate currents in response to the detection; multiple current lines for conducting currents; a set of switches coupled between the array of detectors and the multiple current lines such that an output of each of the array of detectors is routed to none or one of the multiple current lines; and a controller operable to configure the set of switches.
