AS5040 8-bit Programmable Magnetic Rotary Encoder AS5040/AS5045/AS5140/AS5145/AS5145-I10(-I12) Programmable Magnetic Rotary Encoder AS5040-AB-v2.0 Adapterboard OPERATION MANUAL 1 General Description The AS5x40/AS5x45 series are contactless magnetic rotary encoders for accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360°. They are system-on-chip, combining integrated Hall elements, analog front end and digital signal processing in a single device. To measure the angle, only a simple two-pole magnet, rotating over the center of the chip, is required. The magnet may be placed above or below the IC. The absolute angle measurement provides instant indication of the magnet’s angular position with a resolution of 0.35° = 1024 (AS5x40 – 10bit ) or 0.0879° = 4096 (AS5x45 – 12bit) positions per revolution. This digital data is available as a serial bit stream and as a PWM signal. Furthermore, a user-programmable incremental output is available, making the chip suitable for replacement of various optical encoders. The AS5145 is also available as 10bit or 12bit preprogrammed version AS5145-I10(-I12). An internal voltage regulator allows the AS5x40/AS5x45 to operate at either 3.3 V or 5 V supplies. 2 The AS5040 Adapter board 2.1 Board description The AS5040 adapter board is a simple circuit allowing test and evaluation of the AS5040/AS5045/AS5140/AS5145/AS5145I10/AS5145-I12 rotary encoder quickly without building a test fixture or PCB. The PCB can be used as standalone unit or attached to a microcontroller. The standalone operation requires a 5V power supply only; the magnet’s angle can be read on the PWM or analog output.

The airgap between the magnet and the encoder casing should be maintained in the range 0.5mm~2mm. The magnet holder must not be ferromagnetic. Materials as brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel are the best choices to make this part.

The serial word contains 16 bits for AS5x40 or 18 bits for AS5x45 and consists of 10 bit (AS5x40) or 12 bit (AS5x45) angle value and some other indicator bits like MagINC, MagDEC, which can be read at the same time. 4.2 Standalone PWM output mode Figure 5: Using the PWM output with the adapter board The AS5040 provides a pulse width modulated output (PWM), whose duty cycle is proportional to the measured angle. The PWM signal (J2 pin #7) with a period of 1025us (1us step) and 5V pulse voltage can be connected to the capture/timer input of a microcontroller in order to decode the angle value.

The pre-programmed version AS5145-I10 provides a 10bit and AS5145-I12 a 12bit incremental output. The AS5045 do not offer an incremental output (see chapter 6).

In this mode capacitor C3 (refer to Fig.10) must be disconnected when using the 1nF capacitor shown in Fig.8. or directly replaced by this capacitor. The serial data of all connected devices is read from the DO pin of the first device in the chain. The Prog pin of the last device in the chain should be connected to VSS. The length of the serial bit stream increases with every connected device (board) by n * (16+1) bits. Due to R = 100R and C = 1nF, the CLK is limited the maximum 1MHz.

The first “CCW” bit is followed by the zero position data (MSB first / 10 bit for AS5x40 and 12 bit for AS5x45) and some mode settings (please refer to datasheet). Data must be valid at the rising edge of CLK. After writing data into the OTP register it can be permanently programmed by rising the Prog pin to the programming voltage VPROG of 7.3-7.5V. 16 CLK pulses must be applied to program the fuses. For exiting the programming mode, the chip must be reset by a power-on-reset. The programmed data is available after the next power-up.
