Pins 7, 15 and 16 supply pins, pins 3, 4, 5, 6, 13 and 14 are for internal use and must not be connected. Pins 1 and 2 MagINCn and MagDECn are the magnetic field change indicators (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). This pin must be tied to VSS or VDD5V, and must not be switched after power up. See chapter 8 Mode Input Pin. Pin 8 Prog is used to program the zero-position into the OTP (see chapter 11.1 Zero Position Programming). This pin is also used as digital input to shift serial data through the device in Daisy Chain configuration, (see chapter 8.2 Daisy Chain Mode). 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 14) and programming mode (Figure 10). Pin 12 PWM 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. Table 1.

AS5045 Data Sheet 7 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 MagINCn and MagDECn 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 17). 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. Figure 4. AS5045 Block Diagram www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 12 – 33

AS5045 Data Sheet 8 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) 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. The MODE pin should be set at power-up. A change of the mode during operation is not allowed. Switching the Mode pin affects the following parameters: Table 2. Slow and Fast Mode Parameters 12-bit Absolute Angular Position Output Parameter Slow Mode (Mode = low) Fast Mode (Mode = high, VDD5V) Sampling rate 2.61 kHz (384 µs) 10.42 kHz (96µs) Transition noise (1 sigma) ≤ 0.03° rms ≤ 0.06° rms Output delay 384µs 96µs Max. speed @ 4096 samples/rev. 38 rpm 153 rpm Max. speed @ 1024 samples/rev. 153 rpm 610 rpm Max. speed @ 256 samples/rev. 610 rpm 2441 rpm Max. speed @ 64 samples/rev. 2441 rpm 9766 rpm 8.1 Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) Figure 5.

AS5045 Data Sheet 8.1.1 Data Content D11:D0 absolute angular position data (MSB is clocked out first) OCF (Offset Compensation Finished), logic high indicates the finished Offset Compensation Algorithm COF (Cordic Overflow), 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. LIN (Linearity Alarm), logic high indicates that the input field generates a critical output linearity. 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. Even Parity bit for transmission error detection of bits 1…17 (D11…D0, OCF, COF, LIN, MagINC, MagDEC) Placing the magnet above the chip, angular values increase in clockwise direction by default. Data D11:D0 is valid, when the status bits have the following configurations: Table 3. Status Bit Outputs Mag Mag OCF COF LIN Parity INC DEC 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 Even checksum of bits 1:15 1 0 1*) 1*) *) MagInc=MagDec=1 is only recommended in YELLOW mode (see Table 5) 8.1.2 Z-axis Range Indication (Push Button Feature, Red/Yellow/Green Indicator) The AS5045 provides several options of detecting movement and distance of the magnet in the Z-direction. Signal indicators MagINCn and MagDECn are available both as hardware pins (pins 1 and 2) and as status bits in the serial data stream (see Figure 5). Additionally, an OTP programming option is available with bit MagCompEn (see Figure 10) that enables additional features: In the default state, the status bits MagINC, MagDec and pins MagINCn, MagDECn have the following function: Table 4.

It is still possible to 1 1 1 On On operate the AS5045 in the red range, but not recommended. All other combinations n/a n/a Not available 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 4 and Table 5). 8.2 Daisy Chain Mode The Daisy Chain mode allows connection of several AS5045’s in series, while still keeping just one digital input for data transfer (see “Data IN” in Figure 6 below). This mode is accomplished by connecting the data output (DO; pin 9) to the data input (PROG; pin 8) of the subsequent device. An RC filter must be implemented between each PROG pin of device n and DO pin of device n+1, to prevent then encoders to enter the alignment mode, in case of ESD discharge, long cables, not conform signal levels or shape. Using the values R=100R and C=1nF allow a max. CLK frequency of 1MHz on the whole chain. The serial data of all connected devices is read from the DO pin of the first device in the chain. The length of the serial bit stream increases with every connected device, it is n * (18+1) bits: e.g. 38 bit for two devices, 57 bit for three devices, etc… The last data bit of the first device (Parity) is followed by a dummy bit and the first data bit of the second device (D11), etc… (see Figure 7) Figure 6.

AS5045 Data Sheet 9.1 Changing the PWM Frequency The PWM frequency of the AS5045 can be divided by two by setting a bit (PWMhalfEN) in the OTP register (see chapter 11). With PWMhalfEN = 0 the PWM timing is as shown in Table 6: Table 6. PWM Signal Parameters (default mode) Parameter Symbol Typ Unit Note PWM frequency f 244 Hz Signal period: 4097µs PWM - Position 0d MIN pulse width PW 1 µs MIN - Angle 0 deg - Position 4095d MAX pulse width PW 4096 µs MAX - Angle 359.91 deg When PWMhalfEN = 1, the PWM timing is as shown in Table 7: Table 7.

The analog output voltage is proportional to the angle: 0°= 0V; 360° = VDD5V. Using this method, the AS5045 can be used as direct replacement of potentiometers. Figure 9. Simple 2nd Order Passive RC Low Pass Filter Figure 9 shows an example of a simple passive low pass filter to generate the analog output. R1, R2 ≥ 4k7 C1, C2 ≥ 1µF / 6V R1 should be ≥4k7 to avoid loading of the PWM output. Larger values of Rx and Cx will provide better filtering and less ripple, but will also slow down the response time. www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 17 – 33

AS5045 Data Sheet 11 Programming the AS5045 After power-on, programming the AS5045 is enabled with the rising edge of CSn and Prog = logic high. 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) and the Mode setting bits. Data must be valid at the rising edge of CLK (see Figure 10). After writing the data into the OTP register it can be permanently programmed by rising the Prog pin to the programming voltage V . 16 CLK pulses (t ) must be applied to program the fuses (Figure 11). To exit the PROG PROG programming mode, the chip must be reset by a power-on-reset. The programmed data is available after the next power-up. Note: During the programming process, the transitions in the programming current may cause high voltage spikes generated by the inductance of the connection cable. To avoid these spikes and possible damage to the IC, the connection wires, especially the signals Prog and VSS must be kept as short as possible. The maximum wire length between the V switching transistor and pin Prog should not exceed 50mm (2 inches). To suppress eventual PROG voltage spikes, a 10nF ceramic capacitor should be connected close to pins VPROG and VSS. This capacitor is only required for programming, it is not required for normal operation. The clock timing t must be selected at a proper clk rate to ensure that the signal Prog is stable at the rising edge of CLK (see Figure 10). Additionally, the programming supply voltage should be buffered with a 10µF capacitor mounted close to the switching transistor. This capacitor aids in providing peak currents during programming. The specified programming voltage at pin Prog is 7.3 ~ 7.5V (see section 6.8). To compensate for the voltage drop across the V switching transistor, the applied programming voltage may be PROG set slightly higher (7.5 ~ 8.0V, see Figure 12). OTP Register Contents: CCW Counter Clockwise Bit ccw=0 – angular value increases in clockwise direction ccw=1 – angular value increases in counter clockwise direction Z [11:0]: Programmable Zero Position PWM dis: Disable PWM output MagCompEn: When set, activates LIN alarm both when magnetic field is too high and too low (see Table 5) PWMhalfEn: When set, PWM frequency is 122Hz or 2µs / step (when PWMhalfEN = 0, PWM frequency is 244Hz, 1µs / step) 11.1 Zero Position Programming Zero position programming is an OTP option that simplifies assembly of a system, as the magnet does not need to be manually adjusted to the mechanical zero position. Once the assembly is completed, the mechanical and electrical zero positions can be matched by software. Any position within a full turn can be defined as the permanent new zero position. For zero position programming, the magnet is turned to the mechanical zero position (e.g. the “off”-position of a rotary switch) and the actual angular value is read. This value is written into the OTP register bits Z11:Z0 (see Figure 10) and programmed (see Figure 11). Note: The zero position value may also be modified before programming, e.g. to program an electrical zero position that is 180° (half turn) from the mechanical zero position, just add 2048 to the value read at the mechanical zero position and program the new value into the OTP register. 11.2 Repeated OTP Programming Although a single AS5045 OTP register bit can be programmed only once (from 0 to 1), it is possible to program other, unprogrammed bits in subsequent programming cycles. However, a bit that has already been programmed should not be programmed twice. Therefore it is recommended that bits that are already programmed are set to “0” during a programming cycle. www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 18 – 33

AS5045 Data Sheet 11.3 Non-permanent Programming It is also possible to re-configure the AS5045 in a non-permanent way by overwriting the OTP register. This procedure is essentially a “Write Data” sequence (see Figure 10) without a subsequent OTP programming cycle. The “Write Data” sequence may be applied at any time during normal operation. This configuration remains set while the power supply voltage is above the power-on reset level (see 6.6). See Application Note AN5000-20 for further information. Figure 10.

AS5045 Data Sheet Figure 12. OTP Programming Connection of AS5045 (shown with AS5045 demoboard) B S U 11.4 Analog Readback Mode Non-volatile programming (OTP) uses on-chip zener diodes, which become permanently low resistive when subjected to a specified reverse current. The quality of the programming process depends on the amount of current that is applied during the programming process (up to 130mA). This current must be provided by an external voltage source. If this voltage source cannot provide adequate power, the zener diodes may not be programmed properly. In order to verify the quality of the programmed bit, an analog level can be read for each zener diode, giving an indication whether this particular bit was properly programmed or not. To put the AS5045 in Analog Readback Mode, a digital sequence must be applied to pins CSn, PROG and CLK as shown in Figure 13. The digital level for this pin depends on the supply configuration (3.3V or 5V; see section 13 3V / 5V Operation). The second rising edge on CSn (OutpEN) changes pin PROG to a digital output and the log. high signal at pin PROG must be removed to avoid collision of outputs (grey area in Figure 13). The following falling slope of CSn changes pin PROG to an analog output, providing a reference voltage V , that ref must be saved as a reference for the calculation of the subsequent programmed and unprogrammed OTP bits. Following this step, each rising slope of CLK outputs one bit of data in the reverse order as during programming (see Figure 10: Md0-MD1-Div0,Div1-Indx-Z0…Z11, ccw). If a capacitor is connected to pin PROG, it should be removed during analog readback mode to allow a fast readout rate. If the capacitor is not removed the analog voltage will take longer to stabilize due to the additional capacitance. The measured analog voltage for each bit must be subtracted from the previously measured V , and the resulting ref value gives an indication on the quality of the programmed bit: a reading of <100mV indicates a properly programmed bit and a reading of >1V indicates a properly unprogrammed bit. A reading between 100mV and 1V indicates a faulty bit, which may result in an undefined digital value, when the OTP is read at power-up. Following the 18th clock (after reading bit “ccw”), the chip must be reset by disconnecting the power supply. www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 20 – 33

Alignment mode can be enabled with the falling edge of CSn while Prog = logic high (Figure 14). The Data bits D11-D0 of the SSI change to a 12-bit displacement amplitude output. A high value indicates large X or Y displacement, but also higher absolute magnetic field strength. The magnet is properly aligned, when the difference between highest and lowest value over one full turn is at a minimum. Under normal conditions, a properly aligned magnet will result in a reading of less than 128 over a full turn. The MagINCn and MagDECn indicators will be = 1 when the alignment mode reading is < 128. At the same time, both hardware pins MagINCn (#1) and MagDECn (#2) will be pulled to VSS. A properly aligned magnet will therefore produce a MagINCn = MagDECn = 1 signal throughout a full 360° turn of the magnet. Stronger magnets or short gaps between magnet and IC may show values larger than 128. These magnets are still properly aligned as long as the difference between highest and lowest value over one full turn is at a minimum. The alignment mode can be reset to normal operation by a power-on-reset (disconnect / re-connect power supply) or by a falling edge on CSn with Prog = low. Figure 14.

AS5045 Data Sheet 13 3.3V / 5V Operation The AS5045 operates either at 3.3V ±10% or at 5V ±10%. This is made possible by an internal 3.3V Low-Dropout (LDO) Voltage regulator. The internal supply voltage is always taken from the output of the LDO, meaning that the internal blocks are always operating at 3.3V. For 3.3V operation, the LDO must be bypassed by connecting VDD3V3 with VDD5V (see Figure 16). For 5V operation, the 5V supply is connected to pin VDD5V, while VDD3V3 (LDO output) must be buffered by a 2.2...10µF capacitor, which is supposed to be placed close to the supply pin (see Figure 16). The VDD3V3 output is intended for internal use only It must not be loaded with an external load (see Figure 16). Figure 16.

Note that pin VDD3V3 must always be buffered by a capacitor. It must not be left floating, as this may cause an instable internal 3.3V supply voltage which may lead to larger than normal jitter of the measured angle. www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 22 – 33

AS5045 Data Sheet 14 Choosing the Proper Magnet Typically the magnet should be 6mm in diameter and ≥2.5mm in height. Magnetic materials such as rare earth AlNiCo/SmCo5 or NdFeB are recommended. The magnetic field strength perpendicular to the die surface has to be in the range of ±45mT…±75mT (peak). The magnet’s field strength should be verified using a gauss-meter. The magnetic field B at a given distance, along v a concentric circle with a radius of 1.1mm (R1), should be in the range of ±45mT…±75mT (see Figure 17). Figure 17.

AS5045 Data Sheet 14.1 Physical Placement of the Magnet The best linearity can be achieved by placing the center of the magnet exactly over the defined center of the chip as shown in the drawing below: Figure 18. Defined Chip Center and Magnet Displacement Radius 3.9 mm 3.9 mm 1 2.433 mm Defined center R d 2.433 mm Area of recommended maximum magnet misalignment Magnet Placement The magnet’s center axis should be aligned within a displacement radius R of 0.25mm from the defined center of d the IC. The magnet may be placed below or above the device. The distance should be chosen such that the magnetic field on the die surface is within the specified limits (see Figure 17). The typical distance “z” between the magnet and the package surface is 0.5mm to 1.5mm, provided the use of the recommended magnet material and dimensions (6mm x 3mm). Larger distances are possible, as long as the required magnetic field strength stays within the defined limits. However, a magnetic field outside the specified range may still produce usable results, but the out-of-range condition will be indicated by MagINCn (pin 1) and MagDECn (pin 2), see Table 1.

AS5045 Data Sheet 15 Simulation Modeling Figure 20. Arrangement of Hall Sensor Array on Chip (principle) With reference to Figure 20, a diametrically magnetized permanent magnet is placed above or below the surface of the AS5045. The chip uses an array of Hall sensors to sample the vertical vector of a magnetic field distributed across the device package surface. The area of magnetic sensitivity is a circular locus of 1.1mm radius with respect to the center of the die. The Hall sensors in the area of magnetic sensitivity are grouped and configured such that orthogonally related components of the magnetic fields are sampled differentially. The differential signal Y1-Y2 will give a sine vector of the magnetic field. The differential signal X1-X2 will give an orthogonally related cosine vector of the magnetic field. The angular displacement (Θ) of the magnetic source with reference to the Hall sensor array may then be modelled by: (Y1−Y2) Θ=arctan ±0.5° (X1−X2) The ±0.5° angular error assumes a magnet optimally aligned over the center of the die and is a result of gain mismatch errors of the AS5045. Placement tolerances of the die within the package are ±0.235mm in X and Y direction, using a reference point of the edge of pin #1 (see Figure 20). In order to neglect the influence of external disturbing magnetic fields, a robust differential sampling and ratiometric calculation algorithm has been implemented. The differential sampling of the sine and cosine vectors removes any common mode error due to DC components introduced by the magnetic source itself or external disturbing magnetic fields. A ratiometric division of the sine and cosine vectors removes the need for an accurate absolute magnitude of the magnetic field and thus accurate Z-axis alignment of the magnetic source. The recommended differential input range of the magnetic field strength (B , B ) is ±75mT at the surface of (X1-X2) (Y1-Y2) the die. In addition to this range, an additional offset of ±5mT, caused by unwanted external stray fields is allowed. www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 25 – 33

AS5045 Data Sheet The chip will continue to operate, but with degraded output linearity, if the signal field strength is outside the recommended range. Too strong magnetic fields will introduce errors due to saturation effects in the internal preamplifiers. Too weak magnetic fields will introduce errors due to noise becoming more dominant. 16 Failure Diagnostics The AS5045 also offers several diagnostic and failure detection features: 16.1 Magnetic Field Strength Diagnosis By software: the MagINC and MagDEC status bits will both be high when the magnetic field is out of range. By hardware: Pins #1 (MagINCn) and #2 (MagDECn) are open-drain outputs and will both be turned on (= low with external pull-up resistor) when the magnetic field is out of range. If only one of the outputs are low, the magnet is either moving towards the chip (MagINCn) or away from the chip (MagDECn). 16.2 Power Supply Failure Detection By software: If the power supply to the AS5045 is interrupted, the digital data read by the SSI will be all “0”s. Data is only valid, when bit OCF is high, hence a data stream with all “0”s is invalid. To ensure adequate low levels in the failure case, a pull-down resistor (~10kΩ) should be added between pin DO and VSS at the receiving side By hardware: The MagINCn and MagDECn pins are open drain outputs and require external pull-up resistors. In normal operation, these pins are high ohmic and the outputs are high (see Table 5). In a failure case, either when the magnetic field is out of range of the power supply is missing, these outputs will become low. To ensure adequate low levels in case of a broken power supply to the AS5045, the pull-up resistors (~10kΩ) from each pin must be connected to the positive supply at pin 16 (VDD5V). By hardware: PWM output: The PWM output is a constant stream of pulses with 1kHz repetition frequency. In case of power loss, these pulses are missing 17 Angular Output Tolerances 17.1 Accuracy Accuracy is defined as the error between measured angle and actual angle. It is influenced by several factors: (cid:131) the non-linearity of the analog-digital converters, (cid:131) internal gain and mismatch errors, (cid:131) non-linearity due to misalignment of the magnet As a sum of all these errors, the accuracy with centered magnet = (Err – Err )/2 is specified as better than ±0.5 max min degrees @ 25°C (see Figure 22). Misalignment of the magnet further reduces the accuracy. Figure 21 shows an example of a 3D-graph displaying non-linearity over XY-misalignment. The center of the square XY-area corresponds to a centered magnet (see dot in the center of the graph). The X- and Y- axis extends to a misalignment of ±1mm in both directions. The total misalignment area of the graph covers a square of 2x2 mm (79x79mil) with a step size of 100µm. For each misalignment step, the measurement as shown in is repeated and the accuracy (Err – Err )/2 (e.g. max min 0.25° in) is entered as the Z-axis in the 3D-graph. www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 26 – 33

AS5045 Data Sheet 17.2 Transition Noise Transition noise is defined as the jitter in the transition between two steps. Due to the nature of the measurement principle (Hall sensors + Preamplifier + ADC), there is always a certain degree of noise involved. This transition noise voltage results in an angular transition noise at the outputs. It is specified as 0.06 degrees rms (1 sigma)*1 in fast mode (pin MODE = high) and 0.03 degrees rms (1 sigma)*1 in slow mode (pin MODE = low or open). This is the repeatability of an indicated angle at a given mechanical position. The transition noise has different implications on the type of output that is used: (cid:131) Absolute output; SSI interface: The transition noise of the absolute output can be reduced by the user by implementing averaging of readings. An averaging of 4 readings will reduce the transition noise by 6dB or 50%, e.g. from 0.03°rms to 0.015°rms (1 sigma) in slow mode. (cid:131) PWM interface: If the PWM interface is used as an analog output by adding a low pass filter, the transition noise can be reduced by lowering the cutoff frequency of the filter. If the PWM interface is used as a digital interface with a counter at the receiving side, the transition noise may again be reduced by averaging of readings. *1: statistically, 1 sigma represents 68.27% of readings, 3 sigma represents 99.73% of readings. 17.3 High Speed Operation 17.3.1 Sampling Rate The AS5045 samples the angular value at a rate of 2.61k (slow mode) or 10.42k (fast mode, selectable by pin MODE) samples per second. Consequently, the absolute outputs are updated each 384µs (96µs in fast mode). At a stationary position of the magnet, the sampling rate creates no additional error. Absolute Mode At a sampling rate of 2.6kHz/10.4kHz, the number of samples (n) per turn for a magnet rotating at high speed can be calculated by 60 n = slowmode rpm⋅384μs 60 n = fastmode rpm⋅96μs The upper speed limit in slow mode is ~6.000rpm and ~30.000rpm in fast mode. The only restriction at high speed is that there will be fewer samples per revolution as the speed increases (see Table 2). Regardless of the rotational speed, the absolute angular value is always sampled at the highest resolution of 12 bit. www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 28 – 33

AS5045 Data Sheet 17.4 Propagation Delays The propagation delay is the delay between the time that the sample is taken until it is converted and available as angular data. This delay is 96µs in fast mode and 384µs in slow mode. Using the SSI interface for absolute data transmission, an additional delay must be considered, caused by the asynchronous sampling (0 … 1/f ) and the time it takes the external control unit to read and process the angular sample data from the chip (maximum clock rate = 1MHz, number of bits per reading = 18). 17.4.1 Angular Error Caused by Propagation Delay A rotating magnet will cause an angular error caused by the output propagation delay. This error increases linearly with speed: e =rpm∗6*prop.delay sampling, where e = angular error [°] sampling rpm = rotating speed [rpm] prop.delay = propagation delay [seconds] Note: since the propagation delay is known, it can be automatically compensated by the control unit processing the data from the AS5045. 17.5 Internal Timing Tolerance The AS5045 does not require an external ceramic resonator or quartz. All internal clock timings for the AS5045 are generated by an on-chip RC oscillator. This oscillator is factory trimmed to ±5% accuracy at room temperature (±10% over full temperature range). This tolerance influences the ADC sampling rate and the pulse width of the PWM output: (cid:131) Absolute output; SSI interface: A new angular value is updated every 96µs (typ.) in fast mode and every 384µs (typ.) in slow mode. (cid:131) PWM output: A new angular value is updated every 400µs (typ.). The PWM pulse timings T and T also have the same tolerance as the internal oscillator (see above). on off If only the PWM pulse width T is used to measure the angle, the resulting value also has this timing tolerance. on However, this tolerance can be cancelled by measuring both T and T and calculating the angle from the duty on off cycle (see section 9): t ⋅4097 Position= on −1 ( ) t +t on off www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 29 – 33

AS5045 Data Sheet 17.6 Temperature 17.6.1 Magnetic Temperature Coefficient One of the major benefits of the AS5045 compared to linear Hall sensors is that it is much less sensitive to temperature. While linear Hall sensors require a compensation of the magnet’s temperature coefficients, the AS5045 automatically compensates for the varying magnetic field strength over temperature. The magnet’s temperature drift does not need to be considered, as the AS5045 operates with magnetic field strengths from ±45…±75mT. Example: An NdFeB magnet has a field strength of 75mT @ –40°C and a temperature coefficient of -0.12% per Kelvin. The temperature change is from –40° to +125° = 165K. The magnetic field change is: 165 x -0.12% = -19.8%, which corresponds to 75mT at –40°C and 60mT at 125°C. The AS5045 can compensate for this temperature related field strength change automatically, no user adjustment is required. 17.7 Accuracy over Temperature The influence of temperature in the absolute accuracy is very low. While the accuracy is ≤ ±0.5° at room temperature, it may increase to ≤±0.9° due to increasing noise at high temperatures. 17.7.1 Timing Tolerance over Temperature The internal RC oscillator is factory trimmed to ±5%. Over temperature, this tolerance may increase to ±10%. Generally, the timing tolerance has no influence in the accuracy or resolution of the system, as it is used mainly for internal clock generation. The only concern to the user is the width of the PWM output pulse, which relates directly to the timing tolerance of the internal oscillator. This influence however can be cancelled by measuring the complete PWM duty cycle instead of just the PWM pulse (see 17.5). www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.7 30 – 33
