DESCRIPTION
Honeywell’s APS00B High Resolution Magnetic Angular Position Sensor IC (Integrated Circuit) is a miniature surface mount device for angular or rotary displacement designed for magnetic saturating field sensing.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Wide angular range allows measurements of ±90° without
   additional components make this device suitable for a variety
   of angular sensing applications; ±180° measurement is
   possible with external components
• Resolution capability of less than 0.05° helps improve overall
   system accuracy
• Absolute sensing means no indexing is required and the
   exact target position is known, simplifying the system design
• Dual 4-element Wheatstone bridges provide a passive
   element, low-noise design, helping improve system
   performance
• Small, SOIC-8 surface mount package saves room on the
   PC board when compared to larger IC packages and
   components
• RoHS-compliant materials meet Directive 2002/95/EC
• Tape and reel configuration allows use with automated 
   pickand-place equipment, potentially reducing assembly costs.
   (178 mm [7 in]) and 330 mm [13 in] reels available)
• Typical 0 MHz to 5 MHz frequency response with 190 G
   minimum magnetic field applied, makes this saturated mode
   sensor IC potentially suitable for high speed applications
• Typically requires only 5 V at 4 mA to operate (20 mW),
   promoting energy efficiency
• The devices measure only field direction and are virtually
   unaffected by shock, vibration and magnetic-source gap
   variations, providing a stable, reliable output
• Dual bridges with outputs 45° out of phase make it possible
   to use outputs as speed and direction signals
• Honeywell APS00A instrumentation amplifier available for
   additional signal processing
