AS5601-SO_RD_ST Operation Manual Figure 2: Module set-up The configuration of the reference module is shown in Figure Figure 3: Module Cross-Section Push Magnet Sensor Magnet AS5601 www.ams.com Revision 1.0 / 30.06.2014 page 5/11...
The magnet is already aligned to get AGC values in the middle of the AGC range. Note: If the magnetic field seen by the AS5601 would be below 8mT, the output is disconnected and permanent angle programming would not be possible. The AB quadrature interface is not updated as long as the magnet is away.
Using the reference module in I2C Mode µC AS5601 Configuration All options to configure the AS5601 are shown below. The AS5601 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 AS5601 must be programmed.
3.2.6 Watchdog If the watchdog is active, the AS5601 automatically enters Low Power Mode 3 after one minute if the output value stays within a threshold of 4 LSB.
