The AS5045 is a contactless magnetic rotary encoder for
accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360°.
It is a system-on-chip, combining integrated Hall
elements, analog front end and digital signal processing
in a single device.
To measure the angle, only a simple two-pole magnet,
rotating over the center of the chip, is required. The
magnet may be placed above or below the IC.
The absolute angle measurement provides instant
indication of the magnet’s angular position with a
resolution of 0.0879° = 4096 positions per revolution.
This digital data is available as a serial bit stream and as
a PWM signal.
An internal voltage regulator allows the AS5045 to
operate at either 3.3 V or 5 V supplies

Pin Description
Table 1 shows the description of each pin of the standard
SSOP16 package (Shrink Small Outline Package, 16
leads, body size: 5.3mm x 6.2mmm; see Figure 2).
Pins 7, 15 and 16 are supply pins, pins 3, 4, 5, 6, 13 and
14 are for internal use and must not be connected.
Pins 1 and 2 are the magnetic field change indicators,
MagINCn and MagDECn (magnetic field strength
increase or decrease through variation of the distance
between the magnet and the device). These outputs can
be used to detect the valid magnetic field range.
Furthermore those indicators can also be used for
contact-less push-button functionality.
Pin 6 Mode allows switching between filtered (slow) and
unfiltered (fast mode). See section 4

Pin 8 (Prog) is used to program the zero-position into the
OTP (see chapter 8.1).
This pin is also used as digital input to shift serial data
through the device in Daisy Chain configuration,
(see page 6).
Pin 11 Chip Select (CSn; active low) selects a device
within a network of AS5045 encoders and initiates serial
data transfer. A logic high at CSn puts the data output
pin (DO) to tri-state and terminates serial data transfer.
This pin is also used for alignment mode (Figure 12) and
programming mode (Figure 9).
Pin 12 allows a single wire output of the 10-bit absolute
position value. The value is encoded into a pulse width
modulated signal with 1µs pulse width per step (1µs to
4096µs over a full turn). By using an external low pass
filter, the digital PWM signal is converted into an analog
voltage, making a direct replacement of potentiometers
possible.

Functional Description
The AS5045 is manufactured in a CMOS standard
process and uses a spinning current Hall technology for
sensing the magnetic field distribution across the surface
of the chip.
The integrated Hall elements are placed around the
center of the device and deliver a voltage representation
of the magnetic field at the surface of the IC.
Through Sigma-Delta Analog / Digital Conversion and
Digital Signal-Processing (DSP) algorithms, the AS5045
provides accurate high-resolution absolute angular

position information. For this purpose a Coordinate
Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) calculates the angle
and the magnitude of the Hall array signals.
The DSP is also used to provide digital information at the
outputs M a g I N C n and M a g D E C n that indicate
movements of the used magnet towards or away from the
device’s surface.
A small low cost diametrically magnetized (two-pole)
standard magnet provides the angular position
information (see Figure 15).
The AS5045 senses the orientation of the magnetic field
and calculates a 12-bit binary code. This code can be
accessed via a Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI). In
addition, an absolute angular representation is given by a
Pulse Width Modulated signal at pin 12 (PWM). This
PWM signal output also allows the generation of a direct
proportional analogue voltage, by using an external Low-
Pass-Filter.
The AS5045 is tolerant to magnet misalignment and
magnetic stray fields due to differential measurement
technique and Hall sensor conditioning circuitry.

Mode Input Pin
The mode input pin activates or deactivates an internal filter, that is used to reduce the analog output noise.
Activating the filter (Mode pin = LOW or open) provides a reduced output noise of 0.03° rms. At the same time, the output
delay is increased to 384µs. This mode is recommended for high precision, low speed applications.
Deactivating the filter (Mode pin = HIGH) reduces the output delay to 96µs and provides an output noise of 0.06° rms. This
mode is recommended for higher speed applications.
Switching the Mode pin affects the following parameters:

If CSn changes to logic low, Data Out (DO) will change from
high impedance (tri-state) to logic high and the read-out will
be initiated.
After a minimum time t
CLK FE,
data is latched into the
output shift register with the first falling edge of CLK.
Each subsequent rising CLK edge shifts out one bit of
data.
The serial word contains 18 bits, the first 12 bits are
the angular information D[11:0], the subsequent 6 bits
contain system information, about the validity of data
such as OCF, COF, LIN, Parity and Magnetic Field
status (increase/decrease) .
A subsequent measurement is initiated by a “high”
pulse at CSn with a minimum duration of t

COF
(Cordic

logic high indicates an out of
range error in the CORDIC part. When this bit is set, the
data at D9:D0 is invalid. The absolute output maintains
the last valid angular value.
This alarm may be resolved by bringing the magnet
within the X-Y-Z tolerance limits.

When this bit is set, the data at D9:D0 may still be used,
but can contain invalid data. This warning may be
resolved by bringing the magnet within the X-Y-Z
tolerance limits.

Magnetic input field OK ( GREEN range, ~45…75mT)
YELLOW range: magnetic field is ~ 25…45mT or ~75…135mT. The AS5045 may
still be operated in this range, but with slightly reduced accuracy.
RED range: magnetic field is ~<25mT or >~135mT. It is still possible to operate the
AS5045 in the red range, but not recommended.

Note: Pin 1 (MagINCn) and pin 2 (MagDECn) are active low via open drain output and require an external pull-up resistor. If
the magnetic field is in range, both outputs are turned off.
The two pins may also be combined with a single pull-up resistor. In this case, the signal is high when the magnetic field is
in range. It is low in all other cases (see Table 5 and Table 5).
