INFO
The TMC423 is a triple incremental encoder input chip, which
interfaces to any SPI™ compatible controller. It integrates 24 bit
counters – one for each encoder – to provide a high position
resolution without CPU interaction. The TMC423 is intended as a
companion chip for the TMC428 but not limited to this. Both ICs
together enable the realization of a motion control system of
three axis with encoder feedback. This provides position verifica-
tion or stabilization by implementation of some additional soft-
ware. Further, the TMC423 allows dynamic resolution adaptation
for direct comparison of encoder counters with motors using
different micro step resolution.
All encoder counters can be latched synchronously, or whenever

output with programmable signal shaping for the TMC428
as well as a multiplexer function for the TMC428 reference
switches. Additionally, the TMC423 can drive an LED matrix and
read out a switch matrix, to support systems with keyboard user
interaction.
