AMT203-V KIT
In order to provide maximum flexibility for our customers, the AMT203 series is provided in kit form standard. This allows the user to implement the encoder
into a range of applications using one sku#, reducing engineering and inventory costs.

APPLICATION NOTES
Encoder operational mode
• Initialization mode: At power up the encoder goes through an initiation and stabilization procedure.
This includes microprocessor stabilization and the program for combining Coarse
and Fine channel of the encoder for getting the absolute start position. This
takes
less than 0.1 seconds.
• Tracking mode: Only the Fine channel is active and the MCU internal position register is updated with
data from Fine:
– MCU 12 bit position register is updated from Fine every 48 μs.
– For accurate position update without above time delay, outputs for incremental A quad B
or Count and Up/Dwn from the Fine channel are provided. These outputs are operational up to
8000 RPM and there is no speed error. There is an acceleration error dependent on an internal
filter constant of about 100 μs.
– When using the incremental output there also is an Index output available, with one index
pulse per turn.
Serial Peripheral Interface Commands
The SPI or Serial Peripheral Interface Bus is a standard interface promoted by Motorola and Microchip among
others. It consists of 4 signals:
MOSI: Master Out Slave In
MISO: Master In Slave Out
SCK: Serial Clock
CSB: Chip Select (active low)
SPI BUS
The SPI bus runs full duplex and transfers multiples of 8 bits in a frame. The SPI type is the most common
(CPOL=0, CPHA=0), also known as Microwire. Data is captured on the rising edge of SCK and the output data
is changed after the falling edge of SCK.

Terminology

Setup
LSB
MSB = most significant byte
LSB = least significant byte
msb = most significant bit
lsb = least significant bit
CSB
Serial Peripheral Interface Bus (SPI) on AMT203
Figure 7: SPI BUS Timing Diagram
The msb data out on MISO is valid soon after CSB goes low. The MOSI data is valid soon after the falling edge
of SCK. The Encoder drives data out on MISO as long as CSB is low.
Normally, CSB goes low, then after 8 clocks the command is interpreted. CSB high resets the
clock counter, and terminates any command sequence.
