The reference design allows an easy and fast evaluation of the AS5600 rotary magnetic position sensor in the lab. Additionally it is possible to replace an existing potentiometer with the AS5600- SO_RD_ST. The module is fully assembled with and pcb including the AS5600 position sensor and its necessary external components.
B Ground 2.2 Adapter Board Description The AS5600 is connected over the 7-way header or by using the 3-Wire Mode. Connect the desired pins of the AS5600 using the headers and resistors. www.ams.com Revision 1.1 / 30.06.2014...
7-Way Header 2.3 Mechanical Setup The contactless potentiometer reference design comes with the AS5600-SO_RD_ST PCB assembled. The PCB holds all necessary components to operate the AS5600 in a contactless potentiometer application. The configuration of the reference module is shown in Figure...
The magnet is already aligned to get AGC values in the middle of the AGC range. Note: If the magnetic field seen by the AS5600 would be below 8mT, the output would be switched off and permanent angle programming would not be possible.
AS5600-SO_RD_ST Operation Manual AS5600 Configuration All options to configure the AS5600 are shown below. The AS5600 operates with a default configuration if no configuration was programmed. 3.1 Programming the output range To adjust a custom angle to the full output range or to modify the Zero Position of the device, the AS5600 must be programmed.
AS5600-SO_RD_ST Operation Manual 3.2.6 Watchdog If the watchdog is active, the AS5600 automatically enters Low Power Mode 3 after one minute if the output value stays within a threshold of 4 LSB. Board Schematics, Layout and BOM The schematic, layout and BOM of the adapterboard are shown below for reference.
