General Description
The AS5163 is a contactless magnetic angle position
sensor for accurate angular measurement over a full turn
of 360°. A sub range can be programmed to achieve the
best resolution for the application. It is a system-on-chip,
combining integrated Hall elements, analog front end,
digital signal processing and best in class automotive
protection features in a single device.
Benefits
- Unique fully differential patented solution
- Best protections for automotive applications
- Easy to program
- Flexible interface selection PWM, analog output
- Ideal for applications in harsh environments due to
contactless position sensing
- Robust system, tolerant to magnet misalignment, air
gap variations, temperature variations and external
magnetic fields
- No calibration required because of inherent
accuracy.
- High driving capability of analog output (including
diagnostics)
