a geared rotation ratio with respect to the motor. Therefore, the frequency of the digital signal coming from
the QEPA and QEPB outputs varies proportionally with the velocity of the motor. For example, a 2000-line
encoder directly coupled to a motor running at 5000 revolutions per minute (rpm) results in a frequency of
166.6 KHz, so by measuring the frequency of either the QEPA or QEPB output, the processor can
determine the velocity of the motor.
