The AS5040 adapter board

• The AS5040 adapter board is a simple circuit that allows the test and evaluation of the AS5x40/AS5x45 position sensor without building a test fixture or PCB.

Board description

• The PCB can be used as a standalone unit or attached to a microcontroller. The standalone operation requires a 5V power supply only. The magnet’s angle can be read on the PWM or analog output.
• Note: Refer to Figure 2 for a visual representation of the AS5040 adapter board.

Revision History

General Description

• The AS5x40/AS5x45 series are contactless magnetic position sensors for accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360°. They are 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. (See Figure 1:)

The AS5040 adapter board

• The AS5040 adapter board is a simple circuit allowing the test and evaluation of the AS5x40/AS5x45 position sensor without building a test fixture or PCB.

Board description

• The PCB can be used as a standalone unit or attached to a microcontroller. The standalone operation requires a 5V power supply only; the magnet’s angle can be read on the PWM or analog output. (See Figure 2:).

Mounting the AS5040 adapter board

• A diametric magnet must be placed over on under the AS5x40/AS5x45 sensor and should be centered on the middle of the package with a tolerance of 0.5mm.
• The airgap between the magnet and the sensor casing should be maintained in the range  0.5mm~2mm. The magnet holder must not be ferromagnetic. Materials as brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel are the best choices to make this part. (See Figure 3:)

AS5040 Adapterboard and pinout

• The Adapterboard Pinout is shown below.

Operation cases

The most complete and accurate solution for a MCU to read the angle of a magnet is the serial interface.
Standalone SSI output mode
The serial word contains 16 bits for AS5x40 or 18 bits for AS5x45 and consists of 10 bit (AS5x40) or 12 bit (AS5x45) angle value and some other indicator bits like MagINC, MagDEC, which can be read at the same time.

Standalone PWM output mode
The AS5040 provides a pulse width modulated output (PWM), whose duty cycle is proportional to the measured angle.
The PWM signal (J2 pin #7) with a period of 1025us (1us step) and 5V pulse voltage can be connected to the capture/timer input of a microcontroller in order to decode the angle value.

Standalone incremental Output

• Three different incremental output modes are possible with quadrature A/B being the default mode (two-channel quadrature, step / direction incremental signal (LSB) and the direction bit in clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) direction.
• The pre-programmed version AS5145-I10 provides a 10bit and AS5145-I12 a 12bit incremental output.
• The AS5045 doesn’t provide an incremental output.
• For further information, please refer to the datasheet.

Daisy chain mode

• By using more than one adapter board, a setup in daisy chain mode is possible.
• Note: In this mode capacitor C3 (refer to Fig.12) must be disconnected when using the 1nF capacitor shown in Fig.9 or directly replaced by this capacitor.
• The serial data of all connected devices is read from the DO pin of the first device in the chain. The Prog pin of the last device in the chain should be connected to VSS. The length of the serial bit stream increases with every connected device (board) by n * (16+1) bits.
• Due to R = 100R and C = 1nF, the CLK is limited the maximum 1MHz.

Programming the AS5040

• After power-on, programming the AS5040 is enabled with the rising edge of CSn with Prog = high and CLK = low. 16 bit configuration data must be serially shifted into the OTP register via the Prog-pin. The first “CCW” bit is followed by the zero position data (MSB first / 10 bit for AS5x40 and 12 bit for AS5x45) and some mode settings (please refer to datasheet). Data must be valid at the rising edge of CLK.
• After writing data into the OTP register it can be permanently programmed by rising the Prog pin to the programming voltage VPROG of 7.3-7.5V. 16 CLK pulses must be applied to program the fuses.
• For exiting the programming mode, the chip must be reset by a power-on-reset. The programmed data is available after the next power-up.
