Motion Encoder Pulse Counter

This 32-bit binary counter counts the pulses at the Q output of the Quadrature Decoder:

Note: Depending on the Quadrature Decoder settings, the counter increments by 0, 1, 2, or 4 units every encoder cycle.
The counter is not resettable:
  • It is set to 0 at the driver initialization.
  • It increments by 1 at every Q cycle.
  • It wraps around to 0 when it reaches the maximum count 4,294,967,295 (=232 -1).
