AS5045B
12-Bit Programmable Magnetic Position Sensor
1 General Description
The AS5045B is a contact less magnetic position sensor for accurate
angular measurement over a full turn of 360 degrees.
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 magnet can be placed above
or below the IC.
The absolute angle measurement provides instant indication of the
magnet’s angular position with a resolution of 0.0879º = 4096
positions per revolution. This digital data is available as a serial bit
stream and as a PWM signal.
An internal voltage regulator allows the AS5045B to operate at either
3.3V or 5V supplies.
