Revision 1.17
1 - 36
1 General Description
The AS5145 is a contact less magnetic rotary encoder 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
magnets angular position with a resolution of 0.0879?= 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 AS5145 to operate at either
3.3V or 5V supplies.
