AS5045
12 Bit Programmable Magnetic Rotary Encoder
Data Sheet
1 General Description
3 Key Features
The AS5045 is a contactless magnetic rotary encoder
Contactless high resolution rotational position
for accurate angular measurement over a full turn of
360°. It is a system-on-chip, combining integrated Hall
elements, analog front end and digital signal processing
lid in a single device.
To measure the angle, only a simple two-pole magnet,
rotating over the center of the chip, is required. The
a magnet may be placed above or below the IC.
The absolute angle measurement provides instant
v indication of the magnet’s angular position with a
resolution of 0.0879° = 4096 positions per revolution.
ill This digital data is available as a serial bit stream and
as a PWM signal.
t An internal voltage regulator allows the AS5045 to
operate at either 3.3 V or 5 V supplies.
G s 2 Benefits
