Operation Manual

Application Note – AS5000 Programmer
1 General Overview
This operational manual describes the function of the AS5000 Programmer in combination with the programming
boards. This tool can program the ams AS5000 series magnetic rotary encoders. The graphical user interface (GUI)
runs on PC running Windows XP or later and controls the programmer via the USB interface.
All major access modes to the OTP memories can be established. Be aware that ams provides the AS5000
Programmer as a reference for programming and reading of mentioned devices (refer to
Appendix A) under laboratory conditions (no warranty for mass production).
Note: Since firmware version v2.10 the AS5000-Programmer contains a boot loader, which provides an update function
for new software release. Please refer to the corresponding application note AN5000-60 (available on our
webpage).

Description of the programming board
Jumper J6:
Supply voltage selection
Open: 5V – Close: 3.3V (default)
Connector to the
AS5000 programmer
Jumper J9:
Gain = 1
(AS5043 only)
ZIF socket
Location of pin 1 of
the encoder

Device Selection
jumper
The programming board (AS5xxx-PB) is specific for a group of devices. By jumper setting on this board the build in
firmware in the programming box automatically detects the selected device. It is not recommended to change the
jumper setting to a different encoder type than installed in the socket.
To place or remove a device form the socket, push the black frame of the socket down. This socket has more
connectors as the AS50xx/ AS51xx part and therefore it is important to align the device to the left side of the socket.
The pin 1 of the device must be on the bottom left side. Figure 2 shows the detailed placed device in the socket.
The jumper J9 is specific for the AS5043/AS5143. This Jumper is used to close the feedback loop used for the analog
output operation mode. With this jumper the gain can set to 1.
The jumper J6 is by default closed because the AS5000 Programmer provides 3.3V operation. In case of 5 V operation
the jumper must be removed and the configuration can be changed over the GUI.

3 Installation
3.1 Hardware setup
First connect the AS5xxx-PB to the 20-pin connector of the AS5000 Programmer, as shown on Figure 1.
The AS5000 Programmer is directly powered by the PC via USB. An external power supply is not needed.
3.2
Installing the GUI on the PC
The preliminary software is developed for a Microsoft Windows XP operating system with Service Pack 2. In addition
the dotnet (.NET) framework version 2.0 or more must be installed on the PC. This package can be downloaded free of
charge from the Microsoft webpage:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
Following Procedure is recommended before starting the GUI:
1.
2.
3.
4.
check on your PC if Service Pack 2 is installed
install the mentioned .net package to your computer
execute AS5000GUI_setup.exe
Finally start the GUI using the shortcut in the start menu or desktop.

4 Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Figure 4: Main window of the GUI , no PB board inserted
Figure 4 shows the main window of the GUI.
In the top left corner, informations about the connected hardware are displayed:
firmware (FW) type of the connected hardware: ubox (AS5000 Programmer) or dbrd (Demoboard)
firmware (FW) version
By default the GUI is in the auto detection mode. Any ams device connected on the USB port (one device at the same
time) will be automatically detected and displayed in the right top corner.
Note: The autodetect mode can be disabled and forced to any other device type by selecting the device manually.
Once a PB board inserted, tabs will be displayed allowing go into two main sections: SSI (or TWI) and OTP.

4.1 Programming the AS5040/AS5045/AS5140/AS5145/AS5045B
Programming AS5040/AS5140 encoders requires the
AS5040-PB ZIF socket board. This adapter is compatible
with AS5040, AS5140, AS5045,AS5145 and AS5045B.
Jumper J6 must be close for normal operation and
programming operation.

Value field is the raw angle extracted from the SSI stream. The angle range is 0 (0°) to 1023 (359.6°)
Status field displays the status bits extracted from the SSI stream. Green light means that the airgap between
the magnet and encoder is correct. Orange light means the magnet is too close of too far.
CCW checkbox is the angle direction. To invert the rotating direction, check CCW.

Zero Position field: Set button writes the actual angle value into the Zero Position register of the encoder. This
programming is not permanent. The actual value will be 0 after zero position programming. To reset the zero
position register, or to set a new zero position, click on Reset first.
Read interval is the SSI stream readout and refresh rate the GUI.
Figure 7: AS5040 SSI tab after Zero Position programming
This example is the effect when the function Zero Position SET has been performed.
Before programming, the encoder shows the position 651 (Figure 6). One click on Zero Position Set makes the software
writing the value 651 into the OTP Zero Position register (not permanent programming).
Selecting Zero Position Reset will write the value 0 to the OTP Zero Position register.
Note: The Zero Position function is the same for all the AS50xx, AS51xx, AS52xx rotary encoders offering this feature.
Selecting the OTP tab will read the OTP configuration from the IC.
