The multipole magnet strips provided in the demo kits are made by Arnold Magnetics. The AS5304-DK-ST-1.0 has a pole pair length of 4mm and the AS5306-DK-ST-1.0 has a pole pair length of 2.4mm. The multipole magnet strips are mounted in an aluminum/aluminium slider.
AS5304 / AS5306 - Demo Kit User Manual 3. How to get the kit running (1) Power up the demo board using the USB cable. (2) During the start-up of the demo kit, a boot screen is shown offering basic information about position sensor, firmware version and firmware release date.
AS5304 / AS5306 - Demo Kit User Manual 4. Design Considerations Table 4 shows the main features and charachteristics of the AS5304A/B and AS5306A/B for linear movement of the multi-pole magnetic strip. Table 4: Position sensor options Sensor Magnet Pole Length...
The main components of the AS5304 / AS5306 demoboard are the onboard position sensor, the quadrature counter, the main microcontroller and the display. For easy integration of the AS5304 / AS5306, the LS7366 quadrature counter was c hoosen to interface between position sensor and microcontroller. By using this component, the actual position can be read out directly using the SPI interface.
