Note 1. If ABZ resolution configuration is set to other than exponentiation of 2, the father angle linearity
error is added to the specified value in 0 to 1LSB (0 to 0.088degree).
Note 2. This value is in case that ABZ hysteresis configuration is set to “Invalid”. This value is dependent
on ABZ hysteresis configuration. Whenever the setting value is increased, the angle output delay time
value increases by 0.5µs at a time.
Note 3. It is the time from Power-On to becoming high on ERROR pin through judging magnetic flux
range error and tracking error. This time is including the circuit setup time, the tracking angle time, the
self-diagnosis of error time. This parameter is not tested at mass production.

12. Instructions
The AK7451’s function is described in this section. The function is roughly divided into programing
procedure (for various setup) and an angle measurement procedure. The operation procedure is as
follows.
<Programing Procedure>
1. The AK7451 will start as “Normal Mode” after power on automatically.
2. Transfer to “User Mode” and write configuration parameters in EEPROM and then verify the data.
3. Transfer to “Normal Mode” and then The AK7451 will output the angle data based on programed
parameter.
<Normal Operation (Angle measurement)>
1. Transfer to “Normal Mode”.
2. Input the “read angle command” as OPCODE”1001” via SPI, when the absolute angle data is
needed. If relative angle data is needed, count the ABZ output pulses. The ABZ pulses and UVW
pulses are outputted right after startup along with magnet rotating.

13. Mode Transition Diagram and Conditions
This IC has the following two modes and starts with “Normal Mode” at start up.
In the “Normal Mode”, this sensor will be operated as angle output mode. User can read the angle data
via SPI pin and ABZ pin and also can transfer to “User Mode” by using specific OPCODE. And also in
this mode, UVW output is available to detect the magnet rotor position in BCDL motor driving.
In the “User Mode”, the user can set the various operation conditions via SPI communication. The
settable item will be described later in this section.
Mode name
Normal Mode
Note
In this mode, The absolute angle data including error bit, parity bit and mode
information will be outputted via SPI communication by inputting specific OPCODE.
And the ABZ and UVW pulses are outputted automatically along with magnet
rotating.
User Mode
Do not use the angle data (ABZ and UVW pulses) in this mode.
The following functions are available in this mode.
a. Magnetic flux density measurement
b. Abnormal state checking
c. Memory lock
d. Angle zero position setting
e. ABZ output enable/disable and resolution, hysteresis setting
f. Abnormal detection enable/disable setting
g. Rotation direction setting
h. UVW output enable/disable and the number of output pulses, hysteresis setting
Note 5. In user mode, output on ERROR PIN is low state (abnormal status). And the accuracy of
magnetic flux density measurement is not guaranteed.
Each mode can be changed by writing specific OPCODE and specific data on specific address as the
diagram below.

Note 13. As to the difference of ABZ hysteresis between “0LSB” and “Invalid”;
Internal angle data always alternates between two adjacent angle data because of the tracking loop
characteristics even if the environment is a static condition.
In “Invalid” configuration, ABZ output is reflected by internal angle data directly.
But in “0LSB” configuration, ABZ output is reflected by internal angle data when internal angle data
change over two consecutive LSB in same rotation direction.
Thus in this case, LSB bit alternation caused by noise is masked from ABZ output.

during a rotation. (The number of A and B pulse is settable via SPI.). Moreover, the Z phase can be set to

Note 28. Z-phase Output corresponds to the Zero point configuration which should be set by user.
The ABZ output is generated by the bit operation from 12 bit absolute angle data.
In order to generate the ABZ output, the angle data ANG[11:0] is once changed into ANG_ABZ[11:0] by
the following operation.
ANG_ABZ[11:0] = absolute angle data ANG[11:0] × (ABZ resolution set value ABZ_RES[ppr] ×4 ) ÷ 4096
Then, From obtained ANG_ABZ[11:0], the A phase is generated by Bit1, and B phase is generated by
Bit1  Bit0. Z phase is generated by NOR all 12bit data.
Note 19. When the ABZ output is except a exponentiation setup of 2, the angle linearity error
deteriorates in range of -1 to 0 LSB(-0.088 to 0 degree.).

This is a function which outputs the UVW signal which is needed for a DCBL motor drive. The UVW

phase difference in an electric angle respectively. The zero point setup is reflected to start position of
UVW.

If there is difference between UVW and ABZ hysteresis, the start position of UVW phase shifts by the
difference of UVW and ABZ hysteresis setup.
In order to generate the UVW output, the angle data ANG[11:0] is once changed into ANG_UVW[5:0] by
the following operation.
ANG_UVW[5:0] = absolute angle data ANG[11:0] × (the number of UVW pulse set value UVW_RES[ppr]
×6 ) ÷ 4096
By using obtained ANG_UVW[5:0], each U, V and W phase signal is generated as following.
U : When ANG_UVW [5:0] value is from 6N to 6N+2, an output is high-level, and it is a low level when
other.
V : When ANG_UVW [5:0] value is from 6N+2 to 6N+4, an output is high-level, and it is a low level when
other.
W : When ANG_UVW [5:0] value is from 6N+1 to 6N+3, an output is low-level, and it is a High level when
other.
Here, N means the order of output pulses. (from 0 to the number of pulses -1).

18. Abnormal Detection Functions
This IC detects an abnormal state and indicates an abnormal state via ERROR PIN and serial interface.
Abnormal state is outputted at the angle output timing after 2.7ms(Typ) delay after detecting abnormal
state.
1) Abnormal Detection Items
●Magnetic Flux Density Range Error
When IC is applied in less than 10mT(Typ), the abnormal state is detected.
●Tracking Lost
If the angle error in the tracking by the type 2 servo is greater than or equal to 2°, it will be tracking
lost state (if the lock state is out due to type 2 servo). Because it is not overlooking the accurate
absolute angle output in this state, it will be the anomaly detection state. Also monitoring of the
abnormal state is every 2.56ms (Typ).
2) Output state in abnormal
The output is as following during abnormal state.
・ABZ and UVW Output
ABZ and UVW signal is outputted even if during abnormal state but the data may not be correct.
・SPI Output
The parity bits(P1 and P2 bit) and error bit is outputted as following.
Normal State
Abnormal State
P1 bit
ODD parity
EVEN parity
P2 bit

E bit

・ERROR PIN Output
Output is low in abnormal state (high in normal state). The updating cycle of Error pin output is
every 80µs(Typ.).
Note 20. When the abnormal state is released, IC returns to the normal output state automatically.
Note 21. In User mode, output on ERROR PIN is low state.
