AS5215
Programmable 360º Magnetic Angle Encoder with Buffered Sine & Cosine Output Signals
General Description
The AS5215 is a redundant, contactless rotary encoder sensor for accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360º and over an extended ambient temperature range of -40ºC to 150ºC.
Based on an integrated Hall element array, the angular position of a simple two-pole magnet is translated into analog output voltages. The angle information is provided by means of buffered sine and cosine voltages. This approach gives maximum flexibility in system design, as it can be directly integrated into existing architectures and optimized for various applications in terms of speed and accuracy.
With two independent dies in one package, the device offers true redundancy.
