4 Summary

Encoding can be achieved with a single Hall-effect device, thereby reducing board size, layout precision, and cost. 2D latches provide additional resolution over dual planar devices, thereby reducing reliance on gear ratios for smaller steps. 2D latches also provide greater flexibility in placement, allowing the system designer to place their printed circuit board (PCB) in different orientations that allow greater space savings. Lastly, lower BOP and BRP thresholds allow greater flexibility in placement relative to the magnet used for encoding.
