Description:
These devices allow incremental shaft encoders to drive
standard up/down counters. Connect the encoder quadrature
outputs to the A & B inputs. The LS7083 outputs can connect
directly to the up and down clock inputs of counters such as
74193 or 40193. The LS7084 outputs can connect directly to
the Clock and Up/Dn inputs of counters such as 4516 or
74169.
Pin Descriptions
Pin 1 (Rbias input):
Connect a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor and resistor to ground for the internal current mirror which feeds the two internal 2-axis one-
shots. The resistor value sets the width of the low-true clock outputs. A typical value is 300kOhm which sets the output pulse width
to 1µs and max A,B frequency to 250kHz. Minimum resistor value is 50kOhm. See the Rbias table (next page) for other values. The
chip's current consumption is inversely proportional to this resistance. Typical current is 40µA @ 100KOhm and 6µA @ 2MegOhm.
Pins 4 & 5 (A & B inputs):
Connect to the A & B quadrature outputs of the encoder. Both inputs have debounce filters. Minimum pulse width is set at 160ns.
There is no maximum limit. Input current is less than 1 µA. The A&B inputs can be swapped to reverse the direction of the external
counters.
Pin 6 (X4/X1 input):
A high level applied to this input selects X4 mode, a low level selects the X1 mode. Input current is less than 1µA. Do not let this
input float. In X4 mode, a clock pulse is generated for every transition of the A or B input. Note that there are 4 transitions per cycle
of quadrature code. Thus, a 500 cycle/rev encoder will produce 2000 counts/rev in X4 mode. In X1 mode, only one clock is generated
per quadrature cycle.
LS7083 pin 7 (Down Clock output):
Normally high, low-true. The low level pulse width is set by pin 1. Down counts are enabled only when B leads A (clockwise rotation).
In X4 mode, one pulse is generated for each A/B state change. In X1 mode, one pulse is generated per quadrature cycle.
LS7084 pin 7 (Up/Down Clock output):
This output steers the external counter up or down. High = Up (A leads B), Low = Down (B leads A).
LS7083 pin 8 (Up Clock output):
Normally high, low-true. The low level pulse width is set by pin 1. Up counts are enabled only when A leads B (counter-clockwise
rotation). In X4 mode, one pulse is generated for each A/B state change. In X1 mode, one pulse is generated per quadrature cycle.
LS7084 pin 8 (Clock output):
Normally high, low-true. The low level pulse width is set by pin 1. In X4 mode, one pulse is generated for each A/B state change
regardless of count direction. In X1 mode, one pulse is generated per quadrature cycle. The external counter should count on the
rising (high-going) edge of this output.
Surface Mount Package:
The 8-pin SOIC package has the same pin-out as the DIP version shown above.

Timing Diagram Notes:
The maximum time delay from the A or B
input to the leading edge of any output is
235ns.
The pulse width of all clock outputs is set by
the value of the Rbias resistor as shown in
the table above.
Typical rise or fall time of each logic output
10 to 20 ns.
