Magnetic Rotary Encoder 14-bit Angular Position Sensor General Description The AS5048 is an easy to use 360° angle position sensor with a 14-bit high resolution output. The maximum system accuracy is 0.05° assuming linearization and averaging is done by the external microcontroller. The IC measures the absolute position of the magnet’s rotation angle and consists of Hall sensors, analog digital converter and digital signal processing. The zero position can be programmed via SPI or I²C command. Therefore no programmer is needed anymore. This simplifies the assembly of the complete system because the zero position of the magnet does not need to be mechanically aligned. This helps developers to shorten their developing time. The sensor tolerates misalignment, air gap variations, temperature variations and as well external magnetic fields. This robustness and wide temperature range (-40°C up to +150°C) of the AS5048 makes the IC ideal for rotation angle sensing in harsh industrial and medical environments. Several AS5048 ICs can be connected in daisy chain for serial data read out. The absolute position information of the magnet is directly accessible over a PWM output and can be read out over a standard SPI or a high speed I²C interface. AS5048A has a SPI interface, AS5048B I2C interface. Both devices offer a PWM output. An internal voltage regulator allows the AS5048 to operate at either 3.3 V or 5 V supplies. 360° contactless angle position sensor Standard SPI or high speed I²C interface Pulse width modulated output (PWM) Simple programmable zero position via SPI or I²C command No programmer needed 14-bit full scale resolution 0.0219°/LSB Angle accuracy 0.05°after system linearization and averaging Daisy chain capability Tolerant to air gap variations magnetic field input range: 30mT – 70mT -40°C to +150°C ambient temperature range 3.3V / 5V compliant 14-pin TSSOP package (5x6.4mm) • Robotic joint position detection • Industrial motor position control • Medical robots and fitness equipment Block Diagra

Magnetic Rotary Encoder 14-bit Angular Position Sensor Functional Description The AS5048 is a magnetic Hall sensor system manufactured in a CMOS process. A lateral Hall sensor array is used to measure the magnetic field components perpendicular to the surface of the chip. The AS5048 is uses self-calibration methods to eliminate signal offset and sensitivity drifts. The integrated Hall sensors are placed around the center of the device and deliver a voltage representation of the magnetic flux Bz.

Magnetic Rotary Encoder 14-bit Angular Position Sensor The 16 bit SPI Interface enables read / write access to the register blocks and is compatible to a standard micro controller interface. The SPI is active as soon as CSn is pulled low. The AS5048A then reads the digital value on the MOSI(master out slave in) input with every falling edge of CLK and writes on its MISO (master in slave out) output with the rising edge. After 16 clock cycles CSn has to be set back to a high status in order to reset some parts of the interface core. SPI Interface Signals (4-Wire Mode, Wire_mode = 1) The AS5048A...
