AS5045
12-Bit Programmable Magnetic Rotary
Position Sensor
The AS5045 is a contactless magnetic position sensor 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.
General Description
To measure the angle, only a simple two-pole magnet, rotating
over the center of the chip, is required. The magnet may be
placed above or below the IC.
The absolute angle measurement provides instant indication of
the magnet’s angular position with a resolution of
0.0879° = 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 AS5045 to operate at
either 3.3 V or 5 V supplies.
