• Pinout

  The LS7184N is a 20-pin counter IC that functions as a quadrature clock converter, translating quadrature encoder signals into a pulse and direction output. It also provides over-speed and under-speed detection, direction selection, and an index signal for timing reference.

• Manufacturer

  The LS7184N is manufactured by LSI Corporation, which is a fabless semiconductor company. Fabless means the company designs and markets the chips but outsources the actual manufacturing to a foundry. LSI Corporation specializes in designing and producing integrated circuits for a variety of applications including networking, storage, and consumer electronics.

• Application Field

  The LS7184N is commonly used in applications such as motor control, industrial automation, robotics, and position sensing. It can be used to interface with rotary encoders, linear encoders, and other position-sensing devices to accurately and reliably track the position and speed of a motor or machinery.

• Package

  The LS7184N chip is packaged in a 28-pin DIP (dual in-line package) format with a through-hole mounting option. It measures approximately 10.16mm x 7.62mm x 3.3mm in size.
