6-BIT MAGNETIC ANGULAR POSITION ENCODER WITH SERIAL INTERFACE Key Features ❑ Up to 64 positions within 360° ❑ Non contact switching ❑ Simple magnet as rotary encoder ❑ Zero position programmable (independent of magnet orientation) ❑ Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) ❑ Cascading is possible ❑ Chip Select Input ❑ Small 8-Pin SOIC (SMT) Package Ordering Information ❑ Temperature Range: -40°C ...+85°C Part Number Package AS5020 SOIC 8 AS5020T SOIC8 Tape and Reel General Description The device provides the absolute angular position of a simple magnet that is placed under or above the device’s surface. The device includes the Hall Sensor Array, signal conditioning and post processing needed to generate a 6-bit binary code. The binary code can be easily accessed by a Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI). The angle between the device and the magnetic polarisation axis is exactly represented by one of 64 sectors (of 5.625° each) in the full 360° range. Zero-Position Programming allows one time programming of a specific zero position between the device and the magnet. The initial zero position is shown below. 0... initial 60 4 α 56 52 8 12 N 48 16 S 20 44 40 24 36 32 4mm Functional Block Diagram Rev. n/c Page 1/11 28 Feb 2001 6-Bit Magnetic Position Encoder –Data Sheet Rev.1.0 AS5020 Pin Description Pin # Symbol Type Description 1 DATA DO DATA Output of the SSI. If PD/CS=0, the measured angle data (6bit value) is serially shifted out over this pin by the CLK, starting with the MSB. A NVR Bit and a Parity bit are added. (NVR=1 indicates a NonValid Range of the magnetic field.) Even Parity is given. 2 VDD AI Positive Supply Voltage. 3 VSS AI Negative Supply Voltage (GND). 4 PROG DI PROGramming Input. This pin is used to program the zero position into a non-volatile memory (OTP). The programmed value is subtracted from the actual measured angle. 5 N.C. AI Not Connected during operation. This pin is used for testing purposes. 6 N.C. AI Not Connected during operation. This pin is used for testing purposes. 7 PD/CS DI Power Down Input, Disable or Chip Select (active low). PD/CS=0 activates the device and enables the measurement. PD/CS=1 sets the device in power save mode and puts the DATA pin in high impedance (highZ) state. 8 CLK DI CLOCK Input of the SSI. This pin is used to serially clock out the measured angle data at Pin 7 (DATA).

Page 2/11 Feb 2001 6-Bit Magnetic Position Encoder –Data Sheet Rev.1.0 AS5020 Functional Description Measurement Principle A hall sensor array is used to convert the magnetic field distribution above the chip surface into a binary code. Measurement is enabled by PD/CS=0. After each measurement a 6-bit value is latched, with the first falling edge of the CLK, into an output shift register. The measured data is accessible via a Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) by any µController System. Ratiometric measurement techniques together with hall sensor conditioning circuitry allow robust tolerance to magnet misalignment. Permanent Encoder Magnet A simple two-pole magnet, e.g. a standard cylindrical permanent magnet that is diametric magnetised, is needed. α 3mm S N B/mT 30 S -30 α/° 180° N 360° Magnetic Field strength of at least ±30mTp is required at the package surface. Standard magnet materials like rare earth AlNiCo / SmCo5 or NdFeB are recommended. Please enquire for distributor references. Rev. n/c Page 3/11 Feb 2001 6-Bit Magnetic Position Encoder –Data Sheet Rev.1.0 AS5020 Measurement Modes Two measurement modes can be selected by programming: 1) Single Read Out Mode (default) 2) Continuous Read Out Mode (OTP option) Chip Select must be active low (PD/CS=0) to enable measurement and bring the output DATA out of high impedance state. After a minimum measurement period, the first falling edge of CLK latches the actual measured angular value. The following rising edges shift the data bits out of the DATA pin, beginning with the most significant bit. An NVR bit and even parity bit are added to the 6 bit angular value. The NVR bit indicates a non-valid range given by bad magnet positioning. Reset not necessary in Continuos Mode PD/CS 1 2 7 8 9 CLK D5 DATA D4 D0 NVR D5 Parity (MSB) (MSB) Latch actual value Next value Figure 1 SSI read out In Single Read Out Mode the start of a new measurement has to be initiated with a short pulse at PD/CS of at least 1 clockcycle. The following falling edge of CLK latches a new measured value. If the OTP option Continuous Read Out Mode is chosen, repeated angle measurement is enabled by PD/CS=0. After each read out sequence the output shift register is automatically refreshed. Fast transmission of the angular data can be performed without pulsing PD/CS. Daisy Chain Configuration In Singe Read Out mode, cascading allows Daisy Chain structures to minimise the interconnection lines. Connecting DATA with PROG of the cascaded Sensor (see Fig. 2) allows the read out of n sensors with the use of only three wires. The measurement data is shifted in this configuration through the devices After n x 9 clock cycles each value of n sensors is visible at pin DATA of the first sensor device. A new measurement can be started with the falling edge of CLK after a power down pulse at PD/CS. n µC AS5020 PROG DATA CLK PD/CS 2 AS5020 PROG DATA CLK PD/CS 1 AS5020 PROG DATA CLK PD/CS CLK Power Down Data In Figure 2 Typical Daisy Chain Configuration Rev. n/c Page 4/11 Feb 2001 6-Bit Magnetic Position Encoder –Data Sheet Rev.1.0 AS5020 PD/CS 1 2 7 8 9 CLK D5 DATA Latch actual value D4 D0 NVR Parity D5 angle 1 D4 D0 angle 2 NVR Parity D5 Next value angle n Figure 3 Daisy Chain read out Zero Position Programming A simple single pin programming allows changing the initial zero position. It is easy to program permanently a new zero-reference into the internal OTP (one time programmable) ROM. This allows a fast and economic magnet placement since the intrinsic orientation is not important. Single Pin Programming is provided via the PROG pin. Fig.4 shows the typical programming sequence needed for fixing the new zero position. Zero Position Programming Sequence Before calibration, the new zero position must be adjusted in measurement mode (PD/CS=0). The rising edge of PD/CS gets the actual position and stores it internally for the permanent programming.
