General Description

The device provides the absolute angular position of a simple magnet that is placed under or above the device’s surface. The device includes the Hall Sensor Array, signal conditioning and post processing needed to generate a 6-bit binary code. The binary code can be easily accessed by a Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI). The angle between the device and the magnetic polarisation axis is exactly represented by one of 64 sectors (of 5.625° each) in the full 360° range. Zero-Position Programming allows one time programming of a specific zero position between the device and the magnet. The initial zero position is shown below.
