AK7401
Rotary Position Sensor IC
1.
General Description
The AK7401 is a monolithic Hall-Effect sensor IC that specializes in detecting rotation angle. A
contactless rotary position sensor is easily designed with a magnet.
The AK7401 is only sensitive to the magnetic flux density applied parallel to the IC surface. This is
obtained through a magnetic concentrator which is mounted on the Hall-Effect elements. It is
advantageous to accurate angular measurements against mechanical displacement.
To detect the rotation angle of a magnet, the AK7401 provides a 12-bit angle data. The angle data output
is available via PWM and serial data protocols.

Applications
Steering wheel position sensor, Pedal position sensor, Throttle position sensor, EGR valve position
sensor, Turbo valve position sensor, Motor shaft position sensor

14. Programmable Mode Descriptions
The AK7401 has the two operating modes (Normal Mode and User Mode). In User Mode, it is able to
read and write the internal registers and EEPROM according to a serial I/F. User Mode supports the
end-user programming such as zero point adjustment, magnet rotation direction, angle data averaging,
PWM frequency, PWM polarity and PWM output type.
When the power supply is turned ON, the AK7401 automatically resets the internal register and loads the
EEPROM configuration data to set the internal configuration register. After startup sequence, the
AK7401 operates in Normal Mode.
● Mode Description
Each mode can be changed by writing a specific OPCODE and DATA on a specific address as the
diagram below.

Table 3. Operation Mode Description
Note
In Normal Mode, it is not able to access the internal register and EEPROM except
register R_ANG (Addr.0x00) and register R_CHMD (Addr.0x02). Available operation
codes are ReadAngle and ChangeMode.
The transmission time interval of ReadAngle operation code needs to be equal to
angle data update period or longer. If the interval time is shorter, R_ANG register is
not updated to the latest processing data.
In case of changing operation mode from User Mode to Normal Mode, all registers
are automatically initialized and loads the EEPROM configuration data to set the
internal configuration register.

[AK7401]
User Mode
In User Mode, it is able to access the internal configuration register and EEPROM.
To set the following parameters in Normal Mode, configuration data need to be
stored in EEPROM.
1. Zero Degree Point
Configuration of the zero degree point defines the origin of the output angle
data. It is programmable at any angle position.
2.
Magnet Rotation Direction
Configuration of the magnet rotation direction defines the increase or
decrease of the output angle data relative to the magnet rotation direction.
When it is selected to CCW, the output angle data increases in response to
counter-clockwise direction magnet rotation.
3.
Angle Data Averaging
Configuration of angle data averaging provides OFF, SPC and HP settings.
In OFF setting, the AK7401 calculates the angle data without averaging
procedure. In SPC setting, the AK7401 calculates the angle data by 2 times
averaging. In HP setting, the AK7401 calculates the angle data by 8 times
averaging.
4.
PWM Frequency
Configuration of PWM frequency provides 250, 500 and 1000Hz settings.
5.
PWM Polarity
Configuration of PWM polarity provides plus and minus polarity settings. In
plus polarity settings, the highest angle data corresponds to maximum
PWM duty.
6.
OUT Pin Output Type
Configuration of the OUT pin output type provides Push-Pull and NMOS
Open-Drain.
7.
Magnetic Flux Density Detection Range
Configuration of magnetic flux density detection range provides under limit
setting and upper limit setting.
8.
Self-diagnostic Configuration
Configuration of self-diagnosis defines the activation or inactivation of each
self- diagnostic functions.
9.
Memory Lock
In order to prevent rewriting EEPROM incorrectly, it is able to lock the
memory. Once the configuration of memory lock is enabled, it is not
possible to change EEPROM anymore.
In User Mode, the OUT pin goes to high-impedance (Hi-Z) output.
Electrical and magnetic characteristics are not guaranteed in User Mode.

15. Serial I/F Protocol
Figure 7 shows timing chart on serial interface protocol. Data communication is only available when the
CS pin set to “H”. To write the internal register or EEPROM, serial data must be input via the SIN/SOUT
pin on the falling edge of SCLK. To read the internal register or EEPROM, the AK7401 outputs serial
data on the rising edge of SCLK.

16. Self-diagnostic Function
The AK7401 has several self-diagnostic functions to detect a function failure, a mismatch of EEPROM
data and an out-of-range operating condition. In User Mode, each diagnostic function can be disabled
but it is strongly recommended to enable all diagnostic functions for the system robustness.
●
Startup Sequence Diagnostic Function
The AK7401 indicates an error during the startup sequence. This error sets the PWM output to low
level and error bit to “0”.
●
Mismatch Detection among EEPROM Data
The AK7401 indicates an error when there is a mismatch of the triple-redundant configuration
EEPROM data. This error sets the PWM output to low level and error bit to “0”.
●
Mismatch Detection between Transfer Buffer Register and EEPROM Data
The AK7401 indicates an error when there is a mismatch between the transfer buffer register and the
EEPROM data. This error sets the PWM output to low level and error bit to “0”.

Mismatch Detection between Configuration Register and Transfer Buffer Register
The AK7401 indicates an error when there is a mismatch between the configuration register and the
transfer buffer register. This error sets the PWM output to low level and error bit to “0”.
●
Analog Signal Sequence Diagnostic Function
The AK7401 indicates an error when there is a failure in analog signal processing sequence. This
error sets the PWM output to low level and error bit to “0”.
●
Under or Over Magnetic Flux Density Detection
The AK7401 indicates an error when the magnetic flux density is undersupplied (default setting Typ.
B<5mT) or oversupplied (default setting Typ. B>80mT). This error sets the PWM output to low level
and error bit to “0”.
●
PWM Duty Over Range Diagnostic Function
The AK7401 indicates an error when there is a deviation from the normal duty cycle range (10 to
90%). This error sets the PWM output to low level.
●
Configuration Register Reloading Sequence Diagnostic Function
The AK7401 indicates an error when there is a failure in reloading sequence for the configuration
register from EEPROM. This error sets the PWM output to low level and error bit to “0”.

Averaging Data range Diagnostic Function
The AK7401 indicates an error when the original data set before averaging spread out among three
quadrants. This error sets the PWM output level to low and error bit to “0”.
It is caused by higher rotation speed than averaging time.

EEPROM Write Sequence Diagnostic Function
The AK7401 indicates an error when there is overtime in the loading sequence for EEPROM (Typ.
6.4ms). This error sets the PWM output to low level and error bit to “0”.
●
Under or Over Voltage Supply Detection
The AK7401 indicates an error when supply voltage is less than under voltage detection level (Typ.
VDD<3.5V) or supply voltage is more than over voltage detection level (Typ. VDD>6.0V). This error
sets the PWM output to low level and error bit to “0”.
●
Excessive Over Voltage Supply Detection
The AK7401 indicates an error when supply voltage is more than output shutdown level (Typ.
VDD>7.3V). This error sets the PWM output to high impedance (Hi-Z) and error bit to “0”.

4. PWM Frequency
The default setting is 1000Hz.
5. PWM Polarity
The default setting is plus polarity.
In plus polarity settings, the highest angle data corresponds to maximum PWM duty.

It is recommended to use 100nF decoupling capacitors.
The TEST0 and TEST1 pins must be open.
When the 3-wire SPI interface is not used, the SCLK and CS pins must be connected to GND and the
SIN/SOUT pin must be open.
When PWM interface is not used, the OUT pin must be open.
