ELM405 Rotary Decoder - 3 wire 4x Interface
Description
The ELM405 is an 8 pin integrated circuit that is used to convert the output from a rotary encoder into three signals (chip select, clock and up/down) that can be used to control various devices. The low power CMOS technology used ensures that only a very small current is required over the entire 2.0 to 5.5 volt operating range. There is no need for external filtering or debounce circuits with the ELM405, as this is all performed within the integrated circuit. After debouncing the encoder signals, the ELM405 determines the direction of shaft rotation, and then generates the appropriate outputs. The polarity of the clock output can be changed at any time to accommodate different needs.
