a. Open selection must be connected to the middle of a voltage divider circuit. See Figure 5.
b. SSI 3W mode is for monitoring purposes only.

Figure 5: Voltage Divider Circuit

Use 2 x 4.7-kΩ resistors (VCC to GND).
The digital interpolation factor is based on the following equation for various rotational speeds (RPM) and count per revolution (CPR) values.
RPM = (Count Frequency x 60) / CPR
CPR (@ 1X interpolation) is based on the following equation that is dependent on radius of operation (ROP).
CPR = LPI x 2π x ROP (inch) or CPR = LP mm x 2π x ROP (mm)
NOTE: LP mm (lines per mm) = LPI / 25.4

2.1 Programmable Select Options
SPI programmable with interpolation factor from 1X to 1024X.

1. Configure external selection to SPI Mode: Program Selection.
2. For signals output after configuration, set external selection to SPI Mode: Output Enabled.

The finger design of Connector 1 is a match to either of the following card edge connectors:

• EDAC, CONN EDGE DUAL FMALE 36POS 0.100, P/N# 395-036-520-202
• SULLINS, CONN EDGE DUAL FMALE 36POS 0.100, P/N# EBC18DREH

The use of the above mentioned card edge connector is not needed if necessary connections can be made using manual soldering to the relevant card edge fingers.

HEDS-9940PRGEVB Programming USB-SPI Kit

In order to program interpolation value other than the ones offered in Table 1, Selection Table for AEDR-9940 198.4375 LPI using the SEL1, SEL2, and SEL3 option pins, you may connect to the AEDS-9940 encoder ASIC through the SPI interface.
Broadcom® offers a simple USB to SPI programming kit, together with a PC-based custom program for you to program the desired interpolation value.

AEDR-9940 Gateway Programming GUI

The HEDS-9940PRGEVB kit is to be used together with AEDR_9940_Gateway.exe to program the desired interpolation factor into the encoder ASIC.

1. Download the zip file from: https://broadcom.box.com/v/HEDS-9940-Programming-Software

2. Save the zip file into a local drive on your PC.

3. Unzip AEDR-9940_Release_Vxpx.zip to a local folder of your choice.

4. Double-click AEDR_9940_Gateway.exe.

5. Once the AEDR_9940_Gateway.exe software is running, the board should be detected.

6. If the following message appears, check the board connections and try again.

7. Click Read to read back saved settings from the AEDR-9940 encoder ASIC.
   a. If existing settings are read out successfully, it displays the saved Interpolation Factor and Index Width settings.
   b. If the AEDR-9940 is not connected or detected, the program terminates. Refer to log.txt in the same directory to check the failure status.
   c. If there is a communication failure with the AEDR-9940, the program exits. Refer to log.txt to check the error message.

8. Enter the interpolation factor required (1 to 1024) and index width setting. Click Program to save the settings.

9. The message Program DUT OK! displays when the settings are save successfully.

Using the AEDR-9940 Gateway SPI Protocol to Perform Calibration

Motor rotation with minimal speed ripple or smooth linear movement is required during calibration. This is to enable Index signals to be automatically adjusted to obtain a good crossover.

1. Turn the motor at a constant speed of 500 rpm or linear stage reciprocal movement (stroke[50 mm/s])
2. Click Auto Calibration.
3. Calibration in progress. Calibrating displays in Status.
4. The Status displays Auto Cal Done if calibration is successfully completed. Otherwise, it displays Error.
   NOTE: A calibration error may be caused by wide spatial displacement or failure to obtain index signals crossover.
