Application of Arithmetic Operations Method in Single Pair-Pole Magnetic Encoder

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel method called arithmetic operations to analyze and process the generated voltage-signal from the single pair-pole magnetic encoder. Dual orthogonal voltage-signals are generated by two vertical hall sensors which are placed in the bottom of a columned magnet. When signals pass A/D converter, the quadrant determination, arithmetic operations and nonlinear correction in FPGA chip are performed before the values of rotational angle are displayed on the LED. This paper also designs and implements the single pair-pole magnetic encoder which has advantages such as high-speed, high-resolution and high-accuracy in the area of angle measurement.
