AS5030 8-BIT Programmable Magnetic Rotary Encoder AS5030 AS5030 8-BIT PROGRAMMABLE HIGH SPEED ABSOLUTE 8 BIT PROGRAMMABLE HIGH SPEED MAGNETIC ENCODER ROTARY ENCODER MAGNETIC ROTARY 1 TENTATIVE FACT SHEET PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET General Description The AS5030 is a contactless magnetic rotary encoder for accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360°. It is a 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 absolute angle measurement provides instant indication of the magnet’s angular position with a resolution of 8 bit = 256 positions per revolution. This digital data is available as a serial bit stream and as a PWM signal. In addition to the angle information, the strength of the magnetic field is also available as a 6-bit code. Data transmission can be configured for 1-wire (PWM), 2-wires (CLK, DIO) or 3-wires (CLK, DIO, CS). A software programmable (OTP) zero position simplifies assembly as the zero position of the magnet does not need to be mechanically aligned. A power down mode together with fast startup- and measurement cycles allows for very low average power consumption and makes the AS5030 also suitable for battery operated equipment. 2 Key Features - 360°contactless angular position encoding - Two digital 8-bit absolute outputs: - Serial interface and - Pulse width modulated (PWM) output - User programmable zero position - High speed: up to 30.000 rpm - Direct measurement of magnetic field strength allows exact determination of vertical magnet distance - Serial read-out of multiple interconnected AS5030 devices using daisy chain mode - Wide magnetic field input range: 20 – 80mT - Wide temperature range: - 40°C to + 125°C - Small Pb-free packages: TSSOP 16 3 Applications - Industrial applications: - Contactless rotary position sensing - Rotary switches (human machine interface) - AC/DC motor position control - Robotics - Encoder for battery operated equipment - Automotive applications: - Steering wheel position sensing - Dashboard rotary switches - Headlight position control Figure 1: Typical arrangement of AS5030 and magnet 1.1 - PWM Decoder Benefits Angle Sin Complete system-on-chip, no calibration required Cos Hall Array & Frontend Amplifier - Flexible system solution provides absolute output, with serial data and PWM output - Ideal for applications in harsh environments due to magnetic sensing principle - High reliability due to non-contact sensing - Robust system, tolerant to horizontal misalignment, airgap variations, temperature variations and external magnetic fields Rev. 1.0 30-04-06 tracking ADC & Angle decoder PWM DX Zero Pos.
