MagAlpha MA330
14-Bit, Digital, Contactless Angle Sensor
with ABZ & UVW Incremental Outputs
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MA330 detects the absolute angular
position of a permanent magnet, typically a
diametrically magnetized cylinder on a rotating
shaft. Fast data acquisition and processing
provide accurate angle measurement at speeds
from 0rpm to 60,000rpm. The digital filtering is
adjustable to optimize control loop performance
when used in servo applications.

Package
•
•
•
The MA330 supports a wide range of magnetic
field strengths and spatial configurations. Both
end-of-shaft and off-axis (side-shaft mounting)
configurations are supported.
•
•
•
The MA330 features magnetic field strength
detection with programmable thresholds to allow
sensing of the magnet position relative to the
sensor for creation of functions such as sensing
axial movements or for diagnostics.
APPLICATIONS
On-chip, non-volatile memory provides storage
for configuration parameters, including the
reference zero angle position, ABZ encoder
settings, UVW pole pair emulation settings, and
magnetic field detection thresholds.
