4-16 Input / Output MN1903
4.5.2 Encoder input frequency
The maximum encoder input frequency is affected by the length of the encoder cables.
The theoretical maximum frequency is 7.5 million quadrature counts per second. This is
equivalent to a maximum frequency for the A and B signals of 1.87MHz. However, the effect of
cable length is shown in Table 3:
