General Description
1.2 Key Features
•
•
360°contactless angular position encoding
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.
Two digital 8-bit absolute outputs:
- Serial interface and
- Pulse width modulated (PWM) output
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).

•
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
A software programmable (OTP) zero position simplifies
assembly as the zero position of the magnet does not need
to be mechanically aligned.

Wide magnetic field input range: 20 ~ 80mT
Wide temperature range: - 40°C to + 125°C
Small Pb-free package: TSSOP 16
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.
