General Description

The AS5600 is an easy to program magnetic rotary position

sensor with a high-resolution 12-bit analog or PWM output. This

contactless system measures the absolute angle of a diametric

magnetized on-axis magnet. This AS5600 is designed for

contactless potentiometer applications and its robust design

eliminates the influence of any homogenous external stray

magnetic fields.

The industry-standard I²C interface supports simple user

programming of non-volatile parameters without requiring a

dedicated programmer.

By default the output represents a range from 0 to 360 degrees.

It is also possible to define a smaller range to the output by

programming a zero angle (start position) and a maximum

angle (stop position).

The AS5600 is also equipped with a smart low power mode

feature to automatically reduce the power consumption.

An input pin (DIR) selects the polarity of the output with regard

to rotation direction. If DIR is connected to ground, the output

value increases with clockwise rotation. If DIR is connected to

VDD, the output value increases with counterclockwise

rotation.
