Hello,
I have read the datasheet for this component and my application is simple. Simple drive the differential signals of a quadrature encoder to a motion controller bus.
I understand a "balancing" resistor should be shunted between the complementary signals (Encoder A, Encoder A-, etc) matching the characteristic impedance of the transmission line...however, is this enough for this application?
I looked at the specs, but I wasn't entirely sure if another resistor was required at each line input (in series with the encoder line) for current limiting. I'm pretty confident that it is a requirement...but I'm a bit lost on which parameter(s) to use for this derivation....also was surprised of no mention of bypass caps at these inputs, or did I over look this?
Thank You,
Sergio
