AMS-AG AS5601 12-bit Programmable Contactless Encoder IC, Magnetic Rotary Position Sensor

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-4204):

Magneto 8 Click is a compact add-on board with an easy-to-program magnetic rotary position sensor featuring incremental quadrature (A/B) and 12-bit digital outputs. This board features the AS5601, a 12-bit programmable contactless encoder IC from AMS-AG. This Click board™ is based on planar Hall sensor technology, supports the industry-standard I2C interface, and measures the orthogonal component of the flux density (Bz) from an external magnet. It also provides a smart low-power mode which automatically reduces power consumption. Magneto 8 Click has many features that make it attractive for various applications such as angular position measurement solutions, encoder replacement, contactless magnetic position sensors, and more. Type: Magnetic. Applications: Angular position measurement solutions, encoder replacement, contactless magnetic position sensors. On-board modules: AS5601, 12-bit programmable contactless encoder IC from AMS-AG. Key Features: High reliability and durability, low power consumption, simple programming. Interface: GPIO, I2C. Compatibility: mikroBUS. Click board size: S (28.6 x 25.4 mm). Input Voltage: 3.3V or 5V.
