Model number: LB5.08.

Description: A single control knob-rotated shaft encoder. A very small microprocessor is used to sense the encoder's motion. It produces a pair of outputs: CK (clock) and U/D (up/down) to better utilize the encoder's outputs. Traditionally these are used to drive a TTL or CMOS up/down counter, but there is no reason that the clock line can't interrupt a processor which would use the U/D to increment or decrement a software counter (this method is easier than decoding the A and B signals in software). The A and B outputs are also available.

Applications: Control shaft input. Volume control, etc. in an audio system.

Key components: CUI: ACZ16NBR1E-15KQA1-24C
