A software programmable (OTP) zero position simplifies assembly as the zero position. The magnet does not need to be mechanically aligned. To optimize the torque characteristic at a certain speed the AS5132 has the option to use a static or dynamic pre- commutation.
3.1.2 PWM LED This LED is connected to the PWM output of the AS5132. The PWM output is a pulse width that is proportional to the angle of the magnet. The pulse width varies from 16μs to 734μs with a repetition rate of 1.33 kHz. Viewing the PWM signal on the LED results in a brightness that is proportional to the angle of the magnet.
The GUI is divided into three main sections HOME, TWI and OTP. By selecting the TWI (AS5132 bidirectional serial protocol) tab, the information of the angular position and the status bits appears. See figure 4.
The Read Interval can be modified from 10 ms (fastest) to 1 s (slowest). The BLDC Commuting Signals sub-window is a realtime representation of the commutation signal status on the AS5132 UVW outputs. For changing the number of pole pairs, see chapter Error! Reference source not found.. Revision 1.0, 04-April-2012 www.austriamicrosystems.com...

AS5132 Demoboard OPERATIONAL MANUAL By clicking on Digital Interface, a new window opens, and allows the user to write directly into the AS5134 registers. See chapter 4.4. Revision 1.0, 04-April-2012 www.austriamicrosystems.com Page 5 of 13...
Figure 5: TWI interface sub-window The Digital interface window allows accessing the internal registers of the AS5132: The parameters don’t need to be checked manually in the “Bits” window on the right, but can be set by the “Fields” and “Options for the selected bits”...
AS5132 Demoboard OPERATIONAL MANUAL OTP tab The OTP tab is normally used for the AS5000 programmer, but the OTP bits can be changed on the AS5132 demoboard as well. Options like sensitivity, incremental output mode, UVW output mode can be changed by selecting the function in “Fields”, then changing the parameter in “Options for the selected field”...
