AS5600L Adapter Board
Introduction
The AS5600L adapter board is a small PCB allowing simple and quick testing or
evaluation of the AS5600L magnetic position sensor without the need to build a
test fixture or design an own PCB.

Board description
The PCB can either be connected to an external microcontroller or to the USB
I&P Box which is available on our webpage. (USB I&P Box)
P1 is populated with a 2×4 90-degree pin header and is required for power
supply as well as I2C (SCL, SDA) and PWM(OUT).
The connector J1 allows you to select between 5V or 3.3V operation
(Open=5V/Closed=3.3V) The optional resistor R1 (0R – 0603 package) allows you
to enable the 3 wire zero programming feature, where you can set the zero and
maximum position without using a µC. (for more details refer to the AS5600L
datasheet)
R2 and R3 are the optional pull-up resistors for SCL and SDA line.
C1 and C2 are decoupling capacitors.
R4 & R5 are used for the direction polarity. Populate R5 for increasing value
in a clockwise direction, R4 for counterclockwise.

2.1 Mounting the AS5600L adapter board
A 6×2.5mm diametric magnet has to be placed over or under the AS5600L sensor and should be centered on the middle of the sensors hall array (for hall array center please refer to AS5600L Datasheet). The airgap between the magnet surface and the package should be maintained in the range 0.5mm to 3mm. The magnet holder must not be ferromagnetic. Materials as brass, copper, aluminum, and stainless steel are the best choices to make this part.

Operation case
4.1 I2C Mode
The AS5600L adapter board can be directly connected to an industry-standard
I2C port of a microcontroller. The minimum connection requirements for
bidirectional communication between the microcontroller and the AS5600L is
VDD, GND, SCL and SDA. The slave address is 0x40.
