Does US Digital provide encoders with differential line driver outputs?
Yes. US Digital has the E5D, E5MD, E6D, E6MD, E7PD, H15D, H5D, H6D, H6MD, HD25, PED, S5D and S6D encoders, which are US Digital encoders with a built-in line driver board. This board uses an industry standard 26LS31 line driver IC. The line driver outputs are RS-422 compatible and provide differential outputs. Both two and three channel encoders are available with the line driver option. We also have our PC4/PC5 external mini-boards that connect to the output of single-ended encoders to provide line driver outputs.
