MagAlpha MAQ470
12-Bit, Automotive Angle Sensor
with ABZ Incremental & PWM Outputs
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MAQ470 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 0 to 60,000 rpm.
12-Bit Resolution Absolute Angle Encoder
Contactless Sensing for Long Life
AEC-Q100 Qualified
Simple and Robust Design
SPI Serial Interface with Parity Bit for Angle
Readout and Chip Configuration
Configuration Programmable Magnetic Field
Strength Detection for Diagnostic Checks
Incremental 10-Bit ABZ Quadrature
Encoder Interface with Programmable
Pulses Per Turn from 1-256
The MAQ470 supports a wide range of
magnetic
field
strengths
and
spatial
configurations. Both end-of-shaft and off-axis
(side-shaft mounting) configurations are
supported.
PWM Output 12-Bit
3.3V, 12mA Supply
-40°C to +150°C Operating Temperature
Available in a QFN-16 (3mmx3mm)
Package with Wettable Flanks
The MAQ470 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 the
sensing of axial movements or for diagnostics.
On-chip non-volatile memory provides storage
for configuration parameters, including the
reference zero angle position, ABZ encoder
settings, and magnetic field detection
thresholds.
