AS5055A − Detailed Description
Typical Application
The AS5055A uses on-chip Hall elements to convert the
magnetic field component perpendicular to the surface of the
chip into a voltage.
The signals from the Hall elements are amplified and filtered by
the analog front-end (AFE) before being converted by the
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The output of the ADC is
processed by the hardwired CORDIC (coordinate rotating
digital computer) block to compute the angle and magnitude
of the magnetic vector. The intensity of the magnetic field
(magnitude) is used by the automatic gain control (AGC) to
adjust the amplification level for compensation of temperature
and magnetic field variations.
The internal 12-bit resolution is available by reading a register
through the SPI interface. The IC settings in the AS5055A can
be programmed through the SPI interface without any
dedicated programmer.

Figure 10 shows how the AS5055A can be connected to a
microcontroller. The SPI interface is a slave interface for
accessing the on-chip registers. The INT/ output is an active-low
interrupt for informing the host microcontroller when a new
result is available.

AS5055A − Detailed Description
Power Supply Filter
Due to the sequential internal sampling of the Hall sensors,
fluctuations on the analog power supply (pin#12: VDD) may
cause additional jitter of the measured angle. This jitter can be
avoided by providing a stable VDD supply.
The easiest way to achieve that is to add a RC filter: 15Ω in series
and 4.7μF to ground as shown in Figure 10.
Alternatively, a filter: 33Ω + 2.2μF may be used. However with
this configuration, the minimum supply voltage is 3.15V.
Reading an Angle
Sending a READ ANGLE command through the SPI interface
automatically powers up the chip, drives INT/ high and starts
another angle measurement. The completion of the angle
measurement is indicated by driving the INT/ output low and
clearing the WOW flag in the error status register. The
microcontroller can respond to the interrupt by reading the
angle value from the AS5055A over the SPI interface. (See
Figure 11).
A READ ANGLE command must not be sent while a
measurement is being performed as indicated by INT/ driven
high or WOW = 1.
Reducing the Angle Jitter
The chip only performs a single angle measurement after a
READ ANGLE command is received, after which it returns to
low-power mode, so it is in normal operating mode for only a
very short time (t PwrUp).
The angle jitter can be reduced by averaging several angle
measurements in the microcontroller. For example, an
averaging of four samples reduces the jitter by 6dB (50%).
Operating Modes
After a READ ANGLE command is sent, the angle is measured
and internal calculations are started. During this time (normal
operating mode) the INT/ output is high until the device finishes
the calculations and a second READ ANGLE command may not
be sent.
After the INT/ output is driven low the device goes into
low-power mode. If the microcontroller doesn't monitor the
INT/ output a minimum guard time (treadout) must be inserted
before the next READ ANGLE command can be sent.
After startup the AS5055A has higher power consumption than
during low-power mode. When the POR cell is deactivated the
chip uses less current during low-power mode (see POR Off
Register).

Note(s) and/or Footnote(s):
1. Even in low power mode, the power supply must be capable of supporting the active current (I on ) at least for maximum t readout,
until the AS5055A is suspended to low power mode.
Daisy Chain
The AS5055A allows a Daisy Chain configuration as shown in
Figure 21.
In this configuration the microcontroller can read multiple
AS5055A chips using only 5 wires.

AS5055A − SPI Inter face
The 16-bit SPI interface provides read/write access to the
on-chip registers. The interface only supports slave operation
mode. It communicates at clock rates up to 10 MHz.
SPI Interface
The AS5055A SPI uses mode=1 (CPOL=0, CPHA=1) to exchange
data. As shown in Figure 12, a data transfer starts with the
falling edge of CSn (SCL is low). The AS5055A samples the MOSI
input on the falling edge of SCL. SPI commands are executed at
the end of the frame (rising edge of CSn). The bit order is MSB
first. Data is protected by parity.

To increase the reliability of communication over the SPI, an

setting of the parity bit causes the PARITY bit in the error status
register of the AS5055A to be set. The parity bit is calculated
from the upper 15-bits of the command frame. The 16-bit
command specifies the address and whether the transaction is
a read or a write.

Writing the value 0x5A to the POR Off Register (0x3F22)
deactivates the POR cell and reduces the current consumption
in low power mode (Ioff ).
Software Reset (0x3C00)
Writing to the Software Reset Register initiates a Software
Reset. With the RES SPI bit of the Data Package set to 1 it is
possible to reset the SPI registers. After a software reset a new
angle conversion is started; this is needed to set the AS5055A
into an initial state. This angle is not readable by the
microcontroller.
The AS5055A is ready as soon as INT/ is driven low or a minimum
time (treadout) has elapsed.

AS5055A − Registers
Possible Conditions which force the Error Flag to be set:
• Wrong parity
• Wrong command
• Wrong number of clocks
Note(s): If the error flag is set to 1 because of a communication
problem the flag remains set until a Clear Error Flag Command
is executed.
No Operation (0x0000)
The No Operation (NOP) command represents a dummy write
to the AS5055A. If no error happens the chip responds with
0x0000.

Description
The correct operation and communication of the AS5055A is
ensured by several error flags. Every read access is supported
by a communication error flag (EF) to indicate a transmission
error in a previous host transmission.
For additional information on the Error Status, please refer to
the application note AN5000_ErrorMonitoring.

RANGE
The RANGE flag signals that the Hall bias circuit has reached the head room
limit. This might occur at the combination of low supply voltage, high
temperature and low magnetic field. In this case, manually reducing the AGC
setting (Figure 28) can be used to recover a valid Hall biasing condition.
9
CORDICOV
The CORDIC calculates the angle. An error occurs when the input signals of the
CORDIC are too large. The internal algorithm fails.
ADCOV
The ADCOV bit occurs if the magnetic input field strength is too large for at
least one Hall element. This can be the case if the magnet is displaced. Second
reason could be that the offset compensation after power up is not finished
yet. If this happens some dummy READ ANGLE commands may be sent to
settle the offset loop.
