For example, to configure an interpolation factor of
x80 and no auto-adaption, set C0 to configuration
level 5 (R01 = 8.06k, R02 = 6.98k) and C1 to con-
figuration level 1 (R11 = 12.1k, R12 = 3.01k). To
configure an interpolation factor of x250 and full
auto-adaption, set C0 to configuration level 5 (R01
= 8.06k, R02 = 6.98k) and C1 to configuration level
11 (R11 = 0).
Setting the Filter Mode and Hysteresis
Configuration input C2 selects the amount of filter-
ing (smoothing) and the hysteresis of the AB out-
puts of the iC-TW8. Choose the desired filter mode
and hysteresis from Table 4 and connect the appro-
priate resistors to configuration input C2 (pin 32)
according to Table 1 to set the corresponding con-
figuration level.

The choice of filter mode is a compromise between
fast response, smoothness of the AB outputs, and
position lag at constant speed. It is recommended to
start with minimal filtering since this gives the fast-
est response of the AB outputs to changes in the
Sin/Cos inputs. Normal or heavy filtering may be
selected if the outputs are noisy or jittery. Experi-
mentation may be necessary to determine the opti-
mal value.
Note that configuration level C2 also sets the AB
output hysteresis in edges. The corresponding hyste-
resis in degrees of a Sin/Cos input can be calculated
using the following formula.

Where Interpolation is the interpolation factor set

if Interpolation is set to x100 and hysteresis is set to
