👉 Encoders are devices that convert input signals into output signals. They use a voltage or current source to generate an electrical signal, which is then amplified and converted by the encoder circuitry to produce an analog output signal. For example, in a digital communication system, an encoder is used to convert digital data such as binary numbers into analog signals for transmission over a network. Similarly, in robotics and automation systems, encoders are used to control motors or other devices based on their position or direction. Enc
