The amount of filtering is a compromise between fast
response and smoothness of the AB outputs. It is rec-
ommended to start with light filtering since this gives
the fastest response of the AB outputs to changes in
the sin/cos inputs. Medium or heavy filtering may be se-
lected if the outputs are noisy or jittery. Experimentation
may be necessary to determine the optimal setting.
Where Interpolation is the interpolation factor set using
configuration inputs C0 and C3.
For example, if an interpolation factor of 250 is selected
using C0 and C3, and C2 is at configuration level 8
(1.56 MHz), the maximum AB frequency will be reached
at a sensor input frequency of
AB Frequency Limit and Auto Adaption
Configuration input C2 is used to set the AB frequency
limit (minimum AB edge separation) and to enable or
disable auto adaption. Choose the desired configura-
tion from Table 10 and connect the appropriate resistors
to configuration input C2 according to Table 7 to set the
corresponding configuration level.

If the sin/cos sensor input exceeds this frequency, the
AB output position can no longer keep up with the sen-
sor position. In this case, the iC-TW28 keeps gener-
ating output pulses at the maximum AB frequency. If
this condition is temporary or transient, the AB outputs
catch up when the sin/cos input frequency decreases.
If this condition persists, however, a fatal fault is gener-
ated and the iC-TW28 stops working.
Input Range, Interpolation Group, and Z Calibra-
tion
Configuration input C3 selects the input signal range,
the interpolation group, and whether Z channel auto
calibration is used. Choose the desired setting from
Table 11 and connect the appropriate resistors to con-
figuration input C3 according to Table 7 to set the corre-
sponding configuration level.
The highest maximum AB output frequency in pin con-
figuration mode is 6.25 MHz, which is equivalent to an
edge separation of 40 ns. Lower maximum output fre-
quencies (higher minimum edge separation) can be
selected as shown in Table 10 if devices connected
to the iC-TW28 (counters, PLCs, motion controllers,
drives, etc.) cannot handle its full output frequency.
Auto adaption maintains optimal offset, channel bal-
ance, and phase compensation values for the sin and
cos channels during operation to ensure maximum inter-
polator accuracy under all operating conditions. Unless
specifically required otherwise, it is recommended to
enable auto adaption and to use the highest maximum
AB frequency (configuration level 6).
The sin/cos sensor input frequency (finput) that corre-
sponds to a given AB output frequency can be calcu-
lated using the following formula:
