Pins 7, 15 and 16 are supply pins, pins 5, 13 and 14 are for internal use and must be left open.
Pin 1 is the magnetic field strength indicator, MagRNGn. It is an open-drain output that is pulled to VSS when the
magnetic field is out of the recommended range (45mT to 75mT). The chip will still continue to operate, but with reduced
performance, when the magnetic field is out of range. When this pin is low, the analog output at pins #10 and #12 will be
0V to indicate the out-of-range condition.
Pin 2 MODE allows switching between filtered (slow) and unfiltered (fast mode). This pin must be tied to VSS or VDD5V,
and must not be switched after power up. See section 0.
Pin 3 Chip Select (CSn; active low) selects a device for serial data transmission over the SSI interface. A “logic high” at
CSn forces output DO to digital tri-state.
Pin 4 CLK is the clock input for serial data transmission over the SSI interface (see section 1)
Pin 6 DO (Data Out) is the serial data output during data transmission over the SSI interface (see section 1)
Pin 8 PROG_DI is used to program the different operation modes, as well as the zero-position in the OTP register.
This pin is also used as a digital input to shift serial data through the device in Daisy Chain Configuration, (see page 9).
Pin 9 DACref is the external voltage reference input for the Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). If selected, the analog
output voltage on pin 12 (Vout) will be ratiometric to the voltage on this pin.
Pin10 DACout is the unbuffered output of the DAC. This pin may be used to connect an external OPAMP, etc. to the
DAC.
Pin 11 FB (Feedback) is the inverting input of the OPAMP buffer stage.
Access to this pin allows various OPAMP configurations.
Pin 12 Vout is the analog output pin. The analog output is a DC voltage, ratiometric to VDD5V (3.0 – 5.5V) or an external
voltage source and proportional to the angle.

al
id
The AS5043 is manufactured in a CMOS standard process and uses a spinning current Hall technology for sensing the
magnetic field distribution across the surface of the chip.
The integrated Hall elements are placed in a circle around the center of the device and deliver a voltage representation of
the magnetic field perpendicular to the surface of the IC.
Through Sigma-Delta Analog / Digital Conversion and Digital Signal-Processing (DSP) algorithms, the AS5043 provides
accurate high-resolution absolute angular position information. For this purpose a Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer
(CORDIC) calculates the angle and the magnitude of the Hall array signals.
The DSP is also used indicate movements of the magnet towards or away from the chip and to indicate, when the
magnetic field is outside of the recommended range (status bits = MagInc, MagDec; hardware pin = MagRngn).
A small low cost diametrically magnetized (two-pole) standard magnet, centered over the chip, is used as the input
device.
The AS5043 senses the orientation of the magnetic field and calculates a 10-bit binary code. This code can be accessed
via a Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI). In addition, the absolute angular representation is converted to an analog
signal, ratiometric to the supply voltage.
The analog output can be configured in many ways, such as 360°/180°/90° or 45° angular range, external or internal DAC
reference voltage, 0-100%*VDD or 10-90% *VDD analog output range, external or internal amplifier gain setting.
The various output modes as well as a user programmable zero position can be programmed in an OTP register. As long
as no programming voltage is applied to pin PROG, the new setting may be overwritten at any time and will be reset to
default when power is cycled. To make the setting permanent, the OTP register must be programmed by applying a
programming voltage.
The AS5043 is tolerant to magnet misalignment and unwanted external magnetic fields due to differential measurement
technique and Hall sensor conditioning circuitry.
It is also tolerant to airgap and temperature variations due to Sin-/Cos- signal evaluation.

Data Sheet – 3.3V / 5V Operation
7 3.3V / 5V Operation
al
id
The AS5043 operates either at 3.3V ±10% or at 5V ±10%. This is made possible by an internal 3.3V Low-Dropout (LDO)
Voltage regulator. The core supply voltage is always taken from the LDO output, as the internal blocks are always
operating at 3.3V.
For 3.3V operation, the LDO must be bypassed by connecting VDD3V3 with VDD5V (see Figure 4 ).
For 5V operation, the 5V supply is connected to pin VDD5V, while VDD3V3 (LDO output) must be buffered by a 1...10µF
capacitor, which should be placed close to the supply pin.
The VDD3V3 output is intended for internal use only. It should not be loaded with an external load.
The voltage levels of the digital interface I/O’s correspond to the voltage at pin VDD5V, as the I/O buffers are supplied
from this pin (see Figure 4).

A buffer capacitor of 100nF is recommended in both cases close to pin VDD5V. Note that pin VDD3V3 must always be
buffered by a capacitor. It must not be left floating, as this may cause an instable internal 3.3V supply voltage which may
lead to larger than normal jitter of the measured angle.

The serial data transmission timing is outlined in Figure 5: if CSn changes to logic low, Data Out (DO) will change from
high impedance (tri-state) to logic high and the read-out sequence will be initiated.
After a minimum time tCLK FE, data is latched into the output shift register with the first falling edge of CLK.
Each subsequent rising CLK edge shifts out one bit of data.
The serial word contains 16 bits, the first 10 bits are the angular information D[9:0], the subsequent 6 bits contain system
information, about the validity of data such as OCF, COF, LIN, Parity and Magnetic Field status (increase / decrease / out
of range) .
A subsequent measurement is initiated by a logic “high” pulse at CSn with a minimum duration of tCSn.
Data transmission may be terminated at any time by pulling CSn = high.

D9:D0 absolute angular position data (MSB is clocked out first).
OCF (Offset Compensation Finished), logic high indicates that the Offset Compensation Algorithm has finished and data
is valid.
COF (Cordic Overflow), logic high indicates an out of range error in the CORDIC part. When this bit is set, the data at
D9:D0 is invalid. The absolute output maintains the last valid angular value.
This alarm may be resolved by bringing the magnet within the X-Y-Z tolerance limits.
LIN (Linearity Alarm), logic high indicates that the input field generates a critical output linearity.
When this bit is set, the data at D9:D0 may still be used, but may contain invalid data. This warning may be resolved by
bringing the magnet within the X-Y-Z tolerance limits.
Data D9:D0 is valid, when the status bits have the following configurations:

MagInc, (Magnitude Increase) becomes HIGH, when the magnet is pushed towards the IC, thus the magnetic field
strength is increasing.
MagDec, (Magnitude Decrease) becomes HIGH, when the magnet is pulled away from the IC, thus the magnetic field
strength is decreasing.
Both signals HIGH indicate a magnetic field that is out of the allowed range (see Table 3).
Note: Pin 1 (MagRngn) is a combination of MagInc and MagDec. It is active low via an open drain output and requires an
external pull-up resistor. If the magnetic field is in range, this output is turned off. (logic “high”).

The absolute angular output is always set to a resolution of 10 bit / 360°. Placing the magnet above the chip, angular
values increase in clockwise direction by default.

8.2 Z-Axis Range Indication (Push Button Feature, Red/Yellow/Green Indicator)
The AS5043 provides several options of detecting movement and distance of the magnet in the vertical (Z-) direction.
Signal indicators MagINC, MagDEC and LIN are available as status bits in the serial data stream, while MagRngn is an
open-drain output that indicates an out-of range status (on in YELLOW or RED range). Additionally, the analog output
provides a safety feature in the form that it will be turned off when the magnetic field is too strong or too weak (RED
range). The serial data is always available, the red/yellow/green status is indicated by the status bits as shown below:

The absolute angular position is sampled at a rate of 10.4kHz (t=96µs) in fast mode and at a rate of 2.6kHz (t=384µs) in
slow mode.
These modes are selected by pin MODE (#2) during the power up of the AS5043. This pin activates or deactivates an
internal filter, which is used to reduce the digital jitter and consequently the analog output noise.
Activating the filter by pulling Mode = LOW reduces the transition noise to <0.03° rms. At the same time, the sampling
rate is reduced to 2.6kHz and the signal propagation delay is increased to 384µs. This mode is recommended for high
precision, low speed and ≤360° applications.
Deactivating the filter by setting Mode = HIGH increases the sampling rate to 10.4kHz and reduces the signal propagation
delay to 96µs. The transition noise will increase to <0.06° rms. This mode is recommended for higher speed and full scale
= 360° applications.

AS5043
Data Sheet – Daisy Chain Mode
10 Daisy Chain Mode
al
id
The Daisy Chain Mode allows connection of several AS5043’s in series, while still keeping just one digital input for data
transfer (see “Data IN” in Figure 6 ). This mode is accomplished by connecting the data output (DO; pin 9) to the data
input (PROG; pin 8) of the subsequent device. An RC filter must be implemented between each PROG pin of device n
and DO pin of device n+1, to prevent then encoders to enter the alignment mode, in case of ESD discharge, long cables,
not conform signal levels or shape. Using the values R=100R and C=1nF allow a max. CLK frequency of 1MHz on the
whole chain. The serial data of all connected devices is read from the DO pin of the first device in the chain. The length of
the serial bit stream increases with every connected device, it is
n * (16+1) bits:
e.g. 34 bit for two devices, 51 bit for three devices, etc…
The last data bit of the first device (Parity) is followed by a dummy bit and the first data bit of the second device (D9),
etc… (see Figure 7).

The analog output Vout provides an analog voltage that is proportional to the angle of the rotating magnet and ratiometric
to the supply voltage VDD5V (max.5.5V). It can source or sink currents up to ±1mA in normal operation (up to 66mA short
circuit current).
The analog output block consists of a digital angular range selector, a 10-bit Digital-to-Analog converter and an OPAMP
buffer stage (see Figure 14).
The digital range selector allows a preselection of the angular range for 360°,180°,90° or 45° (see Table 5). Fine-tuning of
the angular range can be accomplished by adjusting the gain of the OPAMP buffer stage.
The reference voltage for the Digital-to-Analog converter (DAC) can be taken internally from VDD5V / 2. In this mode, the
output voltage is ratiometric to the supply voltage.
Alternatively, an external DAC reference can be applied at pin DACref (#9). In this mode, the analog output is ratiometric
to the external reference voltage.
An on-chip diagnostic feature turns the analog output off in case of an error (broken supply or magnetic field out of range;
see Table 3).
The DAC output can be accessed directly at pin #10 DACout.
The addition of an OPAMP to the DAC output allows a variety of user configurable options, such as variable output
voltage ranges and variable output voltage versus angle response. By adding an external transistor, the analog voltage
output can be buffered to allow output currents up to hundred milliamperes or more.
Furthermore, the OPAMP can be configured as constant current source.
As an OTP option, the DAC can be configured to 2 different output ranges:
a) 0……100% VDACref. The reference point may be either taken from VDD5V/2 or from the external DACref input. The
0…100% range allows easy replacement of potentiometers. Due to the nature of rail-to-rail outputs, the linearity will
degrade at output voltages that are close to the supply rails.
b) 10…..90% VDACref. This range allows better linearity, as the OPAMP is not driven to the rails. Furthermore, this mode
allows failure detection, when the analog output voltage is outside of the normal operating range of 10…90%VDD, as in
the case of broken supply or when the magnetic field is out of range and the analog output is turned off.
11.1 Analog Output Voltage Modes
The Analog output voltage modes are programmable by OTP. Depending on the application, the analog output can be
selected as rail-to-rail output or as clamped output with 10%-90% VDD5V.
The output is ratiometric to the supply voltage (VDD5V), which can range from 3.0V to 5.5V. If the DAC reference is
switched to an external reference (pin DACref), the output is ratiometric to the external reference.
11.1.1 Full Scale Mode
ca
This output mode provides a ratiometric DAC output of (0% to 100%)x Vref *), amplified by the OPAMP stage (default =
internal 2x gain, see Figure 14)
Figure 8: Analog Output, Full Scale Mode (shown for 360°mode)
ni
Note: For simplification, Figure 8 describes
a linear output voltage from rail to rail (0V to
VDD). In practice, this is not feasible due to
saturation effects of the OPAMP output
driver transistors. The actual curve will be
rounded towards the supply rails (as
indicated in Figure 8)

zero position data (MSB first) and the Analog Output Mode setting as shown in Table 5. Data must be valid at the rising
edge of CLK (see Figure 10). Following this sequence, the voltage at pin Prog must be raised to the programming voltage
VPROG (see Figure 10). 16 CLK pulses (tPROG) must be applied to program the fuses. To exit the programming mode, the
chip must be reset by a power-on-reset. The programmed data is available after the next power-up.
Note: During the programming process, the transitions in the programming current may cause high voltage spikes
generated by the inductance of the connection cable. To avoid these spikes and possible damage to the IC, the
connection wires, especially the signals PROG and VSS must be kept as short as possible. The maximum wire length
between the VPROG switching transistor and pin PROG (see Figure 12) should not exceed 50mm (2 inches).
To suppress eventual voltage spikes, a 10nF ceramic capacitor should be connected close to pins PROG and VSS. This
capacitor is only required for programming, it is not required for normal operation. The clock timing tclk must be selected at
a proper rate to ensure that the signal PROG is stable at the rising edge of CLK (see Figure 10). Additionally, the
programming supply voltage should be buffered with a 10µF capacitor mounted close to the switching transistor. This
capacitor aids in providing peak currents during programming. The specified programming voltage at pin PROG is 7.3 –
7.5V (see section 19.7). To compensate for the voltage drop across the VPROG switching transistor, the applied
programming voltage may be set slightly higher (7.5 - 8.0V, see Figure 12).

12.1 Zero Position Programming
Te
ch
The AS5043 allows easy assembly of the system, as the actual angle of the magnet does not need to be considered. By
OTP programming, any position can be assigned as the new permanent zero position with an accuracy of 0.35° (all
modes).
Using the same procedure, the AS5043 can be calibrated to assign a given output voltage to a given angle. With this
approach, all offset errors (DAC + OPAMP) are also compensated for the calibrated position.
Essentially, for a given mechanical position, the angular measurement system is electrically rotated (by changing the
Zero Position value in the OTP register), until the output matches the desired mechanical position.
The example in Figure 13 below shows a configuration for 5V supply voltage and 10%-90% output voltage range. It
adjusted by Zero Position Programming to provide an analog output voltage of 2.0 Volts at an angle of 180°. The slope of
the curve may be further adjusted by changing the gain of the OPAMP output stage and by selecting the desired angular
range (360°/180°/90°/45°).

The analog output can be configured in many ways:
It consists of three major building blocks,
a digital range preselector,
a 10-bit Digital-to-Analog-Converter (DAC)
and an OP-AMP buffer stage.
In the default configuration (all OTP bits = 0), the analog output is set for 360° operation, internal DAC reference
(VDD5V/2), external OPAMP gain, 0-100% ratiometric to VDD5V.
Shown below is a typical example for a 0°-360° range, 0-5V output. The complete application requires only one external
component, a buffer capacitor at VDD3V3 and has only 3 connections VDD, VSS and Vout (connectors 1-3).

Note: the default setting for the OPAMP feedback path is:FB_intEn=0=external. The external resistors Rf and Rg must be

path is internal (Rf_int and Rg_int).

12.2.1 Angular Range Selector
Te
ch
ni
The Angular Range selector allows a digital pre-selection of the angular range. The AS5043 can be configured for a full
scale angular range of 45°, 90°, 180° or 360°. In addition, the Output voltage versus angle response can be fine-tuned by
setting the gain of the OP-AMP with external resistors and the maximum output voltage can be set in the DAC.
The combination of these options allows to configure the operation range of the AS5043 for all angles up to 360° and
output voltages up to 5.5V.
The response curve for the analog output is linear for the selected range (45°/90°/180°/360°). In addition, the slope is
mirrored at 180° for 45°- and 90°- modes and has a step response at 270° for the 180°-mode. This allows the AS5043 to
be used in a variety of applications. In these three modes, the output remains at Vout,max and Vout,min to avoid a sudden
output change when the mechanical angle is rotated beyond the selected analog range. In 360°-mode, a jitter between
Vout,max and Vout,min at the 360° point is also prevented due to a hysteresis.

12.3 Repeated OTP Programming
ch
Although a single AS5043 OTP register bit can be programmed only once (from 0 to 1), it is possible to program other,
unprogrammed bits in subsequent programming cycles. However, a bit that has already been programmed should not be
programmed twice. Therefore it is recommended that bits that are already programmed are set to “0” during a
programming cycle.
Te
12.4 Non-permanent Programming
It is also possible to re-configure the AS5043 in a non-permanent way by overwriting the OTP register.
This procedure is essentially a “Write Data” sequence (see Figure 10) without a subsequent OTP programming cycle.
The “Write Data” sequence may be applied at any time during normal operation. This configuration remains set while the
power supply voltage is above the power-on reset level (see 19.5).
See Application Note AN5000-20 for further information.
12.5 Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
The DAC has a resolution of 10bit (1024 steps) and can be configured for the following options.

AS5043
Data Sheet – Programming the AS5043
Internal or external reference
The default DAC reference is the voltage at pin #16 (VDD5V) divided by 2 (see Figure 13). Using this reference, a system
that has an output voltage ratiometric to the supply voltage can be built.
Optionally, an external reference source, applied at pin#9 (DACref) can be used. This programming option is useful for
applications requiring a precise output voltage that is independent of supply fluctuations, for current sink outputs or for
applications with a dynamic reference, e.g. attenuation of audio signals.
al
id
0-100% or 10-90% full scale range
The reference voltage for the DAC is buffered internally. The recommended range for the external reference voltage is
0.2V to (VDD3V3 -0.2)V.
The DAC output voltage will be switched to 0V, when the magnetic field is out of range, when the MagInc and MagDec
indicators are both =1 and the MagRngn-pin (#1) will go low.
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
lv
The default full scale output voltage range is 0-100%*VDD5V. Due to limitations in the output stage of an OP-Amp buffer,
it cannot drive the output voltage from 0-100% rail-to-rail. Without load, the minimum output voltage at 0° will be a few
millivolts higher than 0V and the maximum output voltage will be slightly lower than VDD5V. With increasing load, the
voltage drops will increase accordingly.
As a programming option, an output range of 10-90%*VDD5V can be selected. In this mode, there is no saturation at the
upper and lower output voltage limits like in the 0-100% mode and it allows failure detection as the output voltage will be
outside the 10-90% limits, when the magnetic field is in the “red” range (Vout=0V, see Table 3) or when the supply to the
chip is interrupted (Vout=0V or VDD5V).
The unbuffered output of the DAC is accessible at pin #10 (DACout). This output must not be loaded.
12.6 OP-AMP Stage
The DAC output is buffered by a non-inverting Op-Amp stage. The amplifier is supplied by VDD5V (pin #16) and can
hence provide output voltages up to 5V.
By allowing access to the inverting input of the Op-Amp and with the addition of a few discrete components it can be
configured in many ways, like high current buffer, current sink output, adjustable angle range, etc...
Per default, the gain of the Op-Amp must be set by two external resistors (see Figure 13). Optionally, the fixed internal
gain setting (2x) may be programmed by OTP, eliminating the need for external resistors.

The Noise level at the analog output depends on two states of the digital angular output:
a) the digital angular output value is stable
In this case, the output noise is the figure given as Vnoise in paragraph 19.3.6. Note that the noise level is given
for the default gain of 2x For other gains, it must be scaled accordingly.
b) the digital output is at the edge of a step
In this case, the digital output may jitter between two adjacent values. The rate of jitter is specified as transition
noise (parameter TN in paragraph 19.5). The resulting output noise is calculated by:
= noise level at pin Vout in Vrms
= transition noise (in °rms; see 19.5)
= Supply voltage VDD5V in V
= noise level of OPAMP
(paragraph 19.3.6) in Vrms

Non-volatile programming (OTP) uses on-chip zener diodes, which become permanently low resistive when subjected to
a specified reverse current.
The quality of the programming process depends on the amount of current that is applied during the programming
process (up to 130mA). This current must be provided by an external voltage source. If this voltage source cannot
provide adequate power, the zener diodes may not be programmed properly.
In order to verify the quality of the programmed bits, an analog level can be read for each zener diode, giving an
indication whether this particular bit was properly programmed or not.
To put the AS5043 in Analog Readback Mode, a digital sequence must be applied to pins CSn, PROG and CLK as
shown in Figure 15. The digital level for this pin depends on the supply configuration (3.3V or 5V; see section 1, page 5).
The second rising edge on CSn (OutpEN) changes pin PROG to a digital output and the log. high signal at pin PROG
must be removed to avoid collision of outputs (grey area in Figure 15).
The following falling slope of CSn changes pin PROG to an analog output, providing a reference voltage Vref, that must be
saved as a reference for the calculation of the subsequent programmed and unprogrammed OTP bits.
Following this step, each rising slope of CLK outputs one bit of data in the reverse order as during programming.
(see Figure 15: Output Range OR0 and -1 , ClampMdEn, RefExtEn, FB_IntEn, Z0…Z9, ccw)
During analog readback, the capacitor at pin PROG (see Figure 12) should be removed to allow a fast readout rate.
The measured analog voltage for each bit must be subtracted from the previously measured Vref, and the resulting value
gives an indication on the quality of the programmed bit: a reading of <100mV indicates a properly programmed bit and a
reading of >1V indicates a properly unprogrammed bit.
A reading between 100mV and 1V indicates a faulty bit, which may result in an undefined digital value, when the OTP is
read at power-up.
th
Following the 16 clock (after reading bit “ccw”), the chip must be reset by disconnecting the power supply.

Data Sheet – Alignment Mode
14 Alignment Mode
lv
al
id
The alignment mode simplifies centering the magnet over the chip to gain maximum accuracy and XY-alignment
tolerance.
This electrical centering method allows a wider XY-alignment tolerance (0.485mm radius) than mechanical centering
(0.25mm radius) as it eliminates the placement tolerance of the die within the IC package (+/- 0.235mm).
Alignment mode can be enabled with the falling edge of CSn while PROG = logic high (Figure 15). The Data bits D9-D0
of the SSI change to a 10-bit displacement amplitude output. A high value indicates large X or Y displacement, but also
higher absolute magnetic field strength. The magnet is properly aligned, when the difference between highest and lowest
value over one full turn is at a minimum.
Under normal conditions, a properly aligned magnet will result in a reading of less than 32 over a full turn.
Stronger magnets or short gaps between magnet and IC may show values larger than 32. These magnets are still
properly aligned as long as the difference between highest and lowest value over one full turn is at a minimum.
The MagInc and MagDec indicators will be = 1 when the alignment mode reading is < 32. At the same time, hardware pin
MagRngn (#1) will be pulled to VSS.
The Alignment mode can be reset to normal operation mode by a power-on-reset (cycle power supply) or by a falling
edge of CSn with PROG=low (see Figure 16).

Typically the magnet should be 6mm in diameter and ≥2.5mm in height. Magnetic materials such as rare earth AlNiCo,
SmCo5 or NdFeB are recommended.
The magnet’s field strength perpendicular to the die surface should be verified using a gauss-meter. The magnetic field
Bv at a given distance, along a concentric circle with a radius of 1.1mm (R1), should be in the range of ±45mT…±75mT.

The magnet’s center axis should be aligned within a displacement radius Rd of 0.25mm from the defined center of the IC
with reference to the edge of pin #1 (see Figure 19). This radius includes the placement tolerance of the chip within the
SSOP-16 package (+/- 0.235mm).
The displacement radius Rd is 0.485mm with reference to the center of the chip (see section Alignment Mode).
The vertical distance should be chosen such that the magnetic field on the die surface is within the specified limits (see
Figure 18). The typical distance “z” between the magnet and the package surface is 0.5mm to 1.8mm with the
recommended magnet (6mm x 3mm). Larger gaps are possible, as long as the required magnetic field strength stays
within the defined limits.
A magnetic field outside the specified range may still produce usable results, but the out-of-range condition will be
indicated by MagRngn (pin 1), which will be pulled low. At this condition, the angular data is still available over the digital
serial interface (SSI), but the analog output will be turned off.

Figure 21: Arrangement of Hall Sensor Array on Chip (principle)
With reference to Figure 21, a diametrically magnetized permanent magnet is placed above or below the surface of the
AS5043. The chip uses an array of Hall sensors to sample the vertical vector of a magnetic field distributed across the
device package surface. The area of magnetic sensitivity is a circular locus of 1.1mm radius with respect to the center of
the die. The Hall sensors in the area of magnetic sensitivity are grouped and configured such that orthogonally related
components of the magnetic fields are sampled differentially.
The differential signal Y1-Y2 will give a sine vector of the magnetic field. The differential signal X1-X2 will give an
orthogonally related cosine vector of the magnetic field.
The angular displacement (Θ) of the magnetic source with reference to the Hall sensor array may then be modelled by:
Θ = arctan
(Y 1 − Y 2) ± 0.5°
( X 1 − X 2)
ch
ni
ca
The ±0.5° angular error assumes a magnet optimally aligned over the center of the die and is a result of gain mismatch
errors of the AS5043. Placement tolerances of the die within the package are ±0.235mm in X and Y direction, using a
reference point of the edge of pin #1 (Figure 21).
In order to neglect the influence of external disturbing magnetic fields, a robust differential sampling and ratiometric
calculation algorithm has been implemented. The differential sampling of the sine and cosine vectors removes any
common mode error due to DC components introduced by the magnetic source itself or external disturbing magnetic
fields. A ratiometric division of the sine and cosine vectors removes the need for an accurate absolute magnitude of the
magnetic field and thus accurate Z-axis alignment of the magnetic source.
Te
The recommended differential input range of the magnetic field strength (B(X1-X2),B(Y1-Y2)) is ±75mT at the surface of the
die. In addition to this range, an additional offset of ±5mT, caused by unwanted external stray fields is allowed.
The chip will continue to operate, but with degraded output linearity, if the signal field strength is outside the
recommended range. Too strong magnetic fields will introduce errors due to saturation effects in the internal
preamplifiers. Too weak magnetic fields will introduce errors due to noise becoming more dominant.

valid, when bit OCF is high, hence a data stream with all “0”s is invalid. To ensure adequate low levels in the failure case,
a pull-down resistor (~10kΩ) should be added between pin DO and VSS at the receiving side
By hardware: The MagRngn pin is an open drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor. In normal operation,
this pin is high ohmic and the output is high. In a failure case, either when the magnetic field is out of range or the power
supply is missing, this output will become low. To ensure an adequate low level in case of a broken power supply to the
AS5043, the pull-up resistor (~10kΩ) must be connected to the positive supply at pin 16 (VDD5V).

18.1 Accuracy; Digital Outputs
Accuracy is defined as the error between measured angle and actual angle. It is influenced by several factors:
ƒ
the non-linearity of the analog-digital converters,
ƒ
internal gain and mismatch errors,
lv
al
id
ƒ
non-linearity due to misalignment of the magnet
As a sum of all these errors, the accuracy with centered magnet = (Errmax – Errmin)/2 is specified as better than ±0.5
degrees @ 25°C (see Figure 23).
Misalignment of the magnet further reduces the accuracy. Figure 22 shows an example of a 3D-graph displaying nonlinearity over XY-misalignment. The center of the square XY-area corresponds to a centered magnet (see dot in the
center of the graph). The X- and Y- axis extends to a misalignment of ±1mm in both directions. The total misalignment
area of the graph covers a square of 2x2 mm (79x79mil) with a step size of 100µm.
For each misalignment step, the measurement as shown in Figure 23 is repeated and the accuracy
(Errmax – Errmin)/2 (e.g. 0.25° in Figure 23) is entered as the Z-axis in the 3D-graph.

The maximum non-linearity error on this example is better than ±1 degree (inner circle) over a misalignment radius of
~0.7mm. For volume production, the placement tolerance of the IC within the package (±0.235mm) must also be taken
into account.
The total nonlinearity error over process tolerances, temperature and a misalignment circle radius of 0.25mm is specified
better than ±1.4 degrees.
The magnet used for this measurement was a cylindrical NdFeB (Bomatec® BMN-35H) magnet with 6mm diameter and
2.5mm in height.

18.3 Transition Noise
ca
Transition noise is defined as the jitter in the transition between two steps.
Due to the nature of the measurement principle (Hall sensors + Preamplifier + ADC), there is always a certain degree of
noise involved.
This transition noise voltage results in an angular transition noise at the outputs. It is specified as 0.06 degrees rms
*1
*1
(1 sigma) in fast mode (pin MODE = high) and 0.03 degrees rms (1 sigma) in slow mode (pin MODE = low or open).
These values are the repeatability of an indicated angle at a given mechanical position.
The transition noise has different implications on the type of output that is used:
ƒ
absolute output; SSI interface:
The transition noise of the absolute output can be reduced by the user by applying an averaging of readings. An
averaging of 4 readings will reduce the transition noise by 6dB or 50%, e.g. from 0.03°rms to 0.015°rms (1
sigma) in slow mode
ƒ
analog output:
Ideally, the analog output should have a jitter that is less than one digit. In 360° mode, both fast or slow mode
may be selected for adequate low jitter.
In 180°, 90° or 45° mode, where the step sizes are smaller, slow mode should be selected to reduce the output
jitter.
*1
ni
: statistically, 1 sigma represents 68.27% of readings,
3 sigma represents 99.73% of readings.
18.4 High Speed Operation
ch
18.4.1 Sampling Rate
Te
The AS5043 samples the angular value at a rate of 10.42k samples per second (ksps) in fast mode and 2.61ksps in slow
mode.
Consequently, a new reading is performed each 96µs. (fast mode) or 384µs (slow mode).
At a stationary position of the magnet, this sampling rate creates no additional error.
Absolute Mode:
With the given sampling rates, the number of samples (n) per turn for a magnet rotating at high speed can be calculated
by
n=
60
for fast mode
rpm ⋅ 96 μs

Revision 1.80

Data Sheet – Angular Output Tolerances
n=

for slow mode
rpm ⋅ 384 μs
In practice, there is no upper speed limit. The only restriction is that there will be fewer samples per revolution as the
speed increases.
Regardless of the rotational speed, the absolute angular value is always sampled at the highest resolution.
Fast Mode
(Pin Mode = 1)
Slow Mode
610rpm = 1024 samples / turn
610rpm = 256 samples / turn
1220rpm = 512 samples / turn

18.5 Output Delays
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
The propagation delay is the delay between the time that the sample is taken until it is available as angular data. This
delay is 96µs in fast mode (pin Mode = high) and 384µs in slow mode (pin Mode = low or open).
The analog output produces no further delay, the output voltage will be updated as soon as it is available. Using the SSI
interface for data transmission, an additional delay must be considered, caused by the asynchronous sampling
(0….1/fsample) and the time it takes the external control unit to read and process the angular data from the AS5043.
18.5.1 Angular Error Caused by Propagation Delay
A rotating magnet will cause an angular error caused by the propagation delay.
This error increases linearly with speed:
e sampling (deg) = 6 ∗ rpm ∗ pr.delay
where
esampling = angular error [°]
rpm = rotating speed [rpm]
prop.delay = propagation delay [seconds]
ca
Note: since the propagation delay is known, it can be automatically compensated by the control unit processing the data
from the AS5043.
18.6 Internal Timing Tolerance
ni
The AS5043 does not require an external ceramic resonator or quartz. All internal clock timings for the AS5043 are
generated by an on-chip RC oscillator. This oscillator is factory trimmed to ±5% accuracy at room temperature (±10%
over full temperature range). This tolerance influences the ADC sampling rate:

18.7 Temperature
18.7.1 Magnetic Temperature Coefficient
One of the major benefits of the AS5043 compared to linear Hall sensors is that it is much less sensitive to temperature.
While linear Hall sensors require a compensation of the magnet’s temperature coefficients, the AS5043 automatically
compensates for the varying magnetic field strength over temperature. The magnet’s temperature drift does not need to
be considered, as the AS5043 operates with magnetic field strengths from ±45…±75mT.
al
id
Example:
A NdFeB magnet has a field strength of 75mT @ –40°C and a temperature coefficient of -0.12% per Kelvin. The
temperature change is from –40° to +125° = 165K.
The magnetic field change is: 165 x -0.12% = -19.8%, which corresponds to 75mT at –40°C and 60mT at 125°C .
The AS5043 can compensate for this temperature related field strength change automatically, no user adjustment is
required.

am

on A
te G
nt
st
il
The influence of temperature in the absolute accuracy is very low. While the accuracy is ≤ ±0.5° at room temperature, it
may increase to ≤±0.9° due to increasing noise at high temperatures.
18.7.3 Timing Tolerance over Temperature
Te
ch
ni
ca
The internal RC oscillator is factory trimmed to ±5%. Over temperature, this tolerance may increase to ±10%. Generally,
the timing tolerance has no influence in the accuracy or resolution of the system, as it is used mainly for internal clock
generation.
