1 General Description
The AS5304/AS5306 are single-chip ICs with integrated Hall
elements for measuring linear or rotary motion using multi-pole
magnetic strips or rings. This allows the usage of the AS5304/
AS5306 in applications where the Sensor IC cannot be mounted at
the end of a rotating device (e.g. at hollow shafts). Instead, the
AS5304/AS5306 are mounted off-axis underneath a multi-pole
magnetized ring or strip and provides a quadrature incremental
output with 40 pulses per pole period at speeds of up to 20 meters/
sec (AS5304) or 12 meters/sec (AS5306).
A single index pulse is generated once for every pole pair at the
Index output. Using, for example, a 32pole-pair magnetic ring, the
AS5304/AS5306 can provide a resolution of 1280 pulses/rev, which
is equivalent to 5120 positions/rev or 12.3bit. The maximum speed at
this configuration is 9375 rpm.
The pole pair length is 4mm (2mm north pole / 2mm south pole) for
the AS5304, and 2.4mm (1.2mm north pole / 1.2mm south pole) for
the AS5306. The chip accepts a magnetic field strength down to 5mT
(peak). Both chips are available with
push-pull outputs (AS530xA)
or with
open drain outputs (AS530xB).
The AS5304/AS5306 are
available in a small 20-pin TSSOP package and specified for an
operating ambient temperature of -40° to +125°C.
