Spezifikationen
AS5040-ASST is an ams OSRAM contactless 10-bit magnetic rotary encoder SoC integrating Hall sensor array, analog front-end and digital signal processing, designed for full 360° absolute angular position detection with multi-mode output, replacing fragile optical encoders and mechanical potentiometers in industrial, automotive and precision motion equipment.
👉 It’s not a low-resolution analog magnetic sensor with single signal output.
👉 It’s a fully programmable multi-interface absolute rotary position IC with stray magnetic field immunity, delivering long lifespan and maintenance-free operation in dusty, vibrating harsh environments.
Key Features of AS5040-ASST Magnetic Rotary Encoder IC
Motion control and automotive hardware engineers select AS5040-ASST for contactless wear-free measurement, flexible configuration and wide temperature stability:
- 10-bit absolute angle resolution, 1024 distinct positions per full rotation (0.35° angular step accuracy)
- Contactless detection principle: only a simple 2-pole on-axis magnet (mounted above or below chip) required for position reading
- Built-in stray magnetic field suppression, stable measurement without extra magnetic shielding components
- Multi-channel synchronous output interfaces for flexible system integration:
- SSI serial absolute digital interface for high-precision MCU position reading
- 10-bit PWM analog pulse-width output for direct ADC sampling
- Incremental A/B quadrature + index signal compatible with standard optical encoders
- UVW 3-phase commutation signal dedicated for BLDC brushless motor drive
- Step/Direction pulse output for stepper motor control systems
- User one-time programmable (OTP) parameters: zero-angle offset, resolution, pole pair count for on-site calibration
- Built-in magnet fault diagnostic logic to monitor magnet offset, loss or abnormal distance
- Supports maximum mechanical rotation speed up to 30,000 RPM for high-speed spindle and motor equipment
- Dual supply compatible: internal regulator supports 4.5V–5.5V main power input, also works with 3.3V control logic systems
- 16-pin SSOP surface mount package, tape-and-reel (TR) shipping format for mass SMT production
- Wide industrial/automotive temperature range: -40°C to +125°C junction operating temperature
- AEC-Q100 automotive qualified grade, RoHS3 lead-free compliant, MSL3 moisture sensitivity rating
- Daisy-chain SSI serial connection design for multi-angle synchronous detection systems
- No mechanical friction, zero wear, far longer service life than optical encoders and rotary potentiometers
