ELM407
Rotary Decoder - 3 wire 4x Interface
Description
Features
The ELM407 is an 8 pin integrated circuit that is
• Low power CMOS design
• Wide supply range – 2.0 to 5.5 volts
• Complete debouncing of the encoder inputs
• No external filtering needed
• 4x decoding
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.
• Can generate a write sequence
• Startup delay timer
There is no need for external filtering or
debounce circuits with the ELM407, as this is all
performed within the integrated circuit. After
debouncing the encoder signals, the ELM407
determines the direction of shaft rotation, and then
generates the appropriate outputs. A write sequence
can also be generated if the Write Enable input is at
a high level when the outputs are generated.
• High current drive outputs

The ELM407 provides 4x decoding of a rotary
encoder signal. If your application requires 2x
decoding, please see the ELM406 (it is identical to
the ELM407 in every respect, except that it provides
2x decoding).
