AS5048A/AS5048B Magnetic Rotary Encoder (14-Bit Angular Position Sensor) The AS5048 is an easy to use 360 angle position sensor with a General Description 14-bit high resolution output. The IC measures the absolute position of the magnets rotation angle and consists of Hall sensors, analog digital converter and digital signal processing. The absolute position information of the magnet is directly accessible over a PWM output and can be read out over a standard SPI or a high speed IC interface. AS5048A has a SPI inter face, AS5048B IC inter face. Both devices offer a PWM output. The zero position can be programmed via SPI or IC command. This simplifies the assembly of the complete system because the zero position of the magnet does not need to be mechanically aligned. The sensor tolerates misalignment, air gap variations, temperature variations and as well external magnetic fields. This robustness and wide temperature range (-40C up to 150C) of the AS5048 makes the IC ideal for rotation angle sensing in harsh industrial and medical environments. Several AS5048 ICs can be connected in daisy chain for serial data read out. An internal voltage regulator allows the AS5048 to operate at either 3.3V or 5V supplies.
