AS5304 / AS5306
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
Integrated Hall ICs for
Linear and Off-Axis Rotary Motion Detection
1 General Description
2 Benefits
The AS5304/AS5306 are single-chip IC’s with integrated
Hall elements for measuring linear or rotary motion using
multi-pole magnetic strips or rings.
•
•
•
•
Complete system-on-chip
High reliability due to non-contact sensing
Suitable for the use in harsh environments
Robust against external magnetic stray fields
This allows the usage of the AS5304/AS5306 in
applications where the Sensor IC cannot be mounted at the
end of a rotating device (e.g. at hollow shafts). Instead, the
AS5304/AS5306 are mounted off-axis underneath a multi-
pole magnetized ring or strip and provides a quadrature
incremental output with 40 pulses per pole period at
speeds of up to 20 meters/sec (AS5304) or 12 meters/sec
(AS5306).
3 Key Features
•
High speed, up to 20m/s (AS5304)
12m/s (AS5306)
•
Magnetic pole pair length: 4mm (AS5304) or
2.4mm (AS5306)
A single index pulse is generated once for every pole pair
at the Index output.
•
•
•
•
Resolution: 25µm (AS5304) or 15µm (AS5306)
40 pulses / 160 positions per magnetic period.
1 index pulse per pole pair
Using, for example,
a
32pole-pair magnetic ring, the
resolution of 1280
AS5304/AS5306 can provide
a
pulses/rev, which is equivalent to 5120 positions/rev or
12.3bit. The maximum speed at this configuration is 9375
rpm.
Linear movement measurement using multi-pole
magnetic strips
The pole pair length is 4mm (2mm north pole / 2mm south
pole) for the AS5304, and 2.4mm (1.2mm north pole /
1.2mm south pole) for the AS5306. The chip accepts a
magnetic field strength down to 5mT (peak).
•
Circular off-axis movement measurement using multi-
pole magnetic rings
•
•
4.5 to 5.5V operating voltage
Magnetic field strength indicator, magnetic field alarm
for end-of-strip or missing magnet
Both chips are available with push-pull outputs
(AS530xA) or with open drain outputs (AS530xB).
The AS5304/AS5306 are available in
a small 20-pin
4 Applications
The AS5304/AS5306 are ideal for high speed linear motion
and off-axis rotation measurement in applications such as
TSSOP package and specified for an operating ambient
temperature of -40° to +125°C.
