Incremental output to A, B and Z
nals. A digital zero-delay glitch filter then takes care
There are two criteria which must be considered when of a temporal edge-to-edge separation, guaranteeing
setting the maximum possible converter frequency via spike-free output signals after an ESD impact to the
the FCTR register:
sensor, for instance.
1. The maximum input frequency
A serial data output is simultaneously possible at any
2. System limitations, e.g. due to slow counters or time, using the BiSS or SSI protocol. However, for the
cable transmission
transfer of angle data to the output register the incre-
mental output is halted for one period of the clock sig-
nal applied to pin MA.
When facing system limitations it is useful to prese-
lect a minimum transition distance for the output sig-

without reversing the sense of rotation.
