AS5403A/D/E
3D Hall Position Sensor for Linear and
Off-Axis Applications
General Description
The AS5403 can measure magnetic fields components in all
three dimensions and converts the magnetic field information
into absolute position information.
Only a simple 2-pole magnet is required as the magnetic field
source.
Using two 3D-Hall cells allows absolute (single pixel) as well as
differential (double pixel) 3D magnetic field measurement.
The differential measurement makes the AS5403 ideal for use
in rough automotive position sensing applications that include
not only dust, dirt or moisture but also unwanted magnetic
stray fields.
All the signal conditioning, including compensation of
temperature effects as well as linearization of the output is
included in the IC.
The absolute position information of the magnet is directly
accessible over a SPI interface and a programmable PWM or
analog output. The build in diagnostic functions makes the
AS5403 suitable for safety critical applications.
The AS5403 is available in a 14-pin TSSOP package and is
qualified according AEC-Q100 for an ambient temperature
range from -40°C to 150°C. It operates at a supply voltage of 5V
±10%.
The programming of the AS5403 is done over the single wire
UART interface.
The AS5403 is overvoltage protected up to 18V on the supply
and output pins. In addition the supply pins are reverse polarity
protected up to -18V.

The AS5403 contains two 3D Hall pixels, spaced 2.5mm apart.
The multiplexer pre-selects depending on the AS5403 variant and chosen mode
two/four magnetic components.
The Sigma-Delta ADC samples the Hall sensors signals selected by the MUX. The
sampling of the sensors is done sequentially.
This block includes offset and temperature compensation as well as amplitude
matching.
Preparation of the input signal for the ATAN calculation. Inversion and offset
adjustment functions.
Angle calculation.
A 33-point linearization of the ATAN output. In addition output settings for gain an
clamping.
An on-chip temperature sensor is available. It can be read over the SPI interface. This
sensor is also used for signal conditioning
The linearized measurement data is available over a single pin in the form of a pulse
width modulated (PWM) signal.
A bi-directional SPI interface allows communication with the chip, including reading
measurement data, E²PROM contents or writing configuration data.
The on-chip E²PROM contains the configuration data of the chip.
Monitor functions on different blocks to check the correctness of the internal signals.
