DATA SHEET
AS5163
12 BIT AUTOMOTIVE Angle Position Sensor
General Description
The AS5163 is a contactless magnetic angle position
sensor for accurate angular measurement over a full turn
of 360°. A sub range can be programmed to achieve the
best resolution for the application. It is a systemꢀonꢀchip,
combining integrated Hall elements, analog front end,
digital signal processing and best in class automotive
protection features in a single device.
Benefits
-
-
-
-
-
Unique fully differential patented solution
Best protections for automotive applications
Easy to program
Flexible interface selection PWM, analog output
To measure the angle, only a simple twoꢀpole magnet,
rotating over the center of the chip, is required. The
magnet may be placed above or below the IC.
Ideal for applications in harsh environments due to
contactless position sensing
-
Robust system, tolerant to magnet misalignment, air
gap variations, temperature variations and external
magnetic fields
The absolute angle measurement provides instant
indication of the magnet’s angular position with
a
resolution of 0.022° = 16384 positions per revolution.
According to this resolution the adjustment of the
application specific mechanical positions are possible.
The angular output data is available over a 12 bit PWM
signal or 12 bit ratiometric analog output.
-
-
No calibration required because of inherent
accuracy.
High driving capability of analog output (including
diagnostics)
The AS5163 operates at a supply voltage of 5 V and the
supply and output pins are protected against overvoltage
up to +27 V. In addition the supply pins are protected
against reverse polarity up to – 18 V.
