Find the datasheet online at http://ams.com/eng/AS5000-MD6H-1 Getting Started The AS5601 adapter board is ideal for rapid setup of a contactless encoder knob. Additionally to the adapter board, a sensor magnet in a mechanical setup is required. A reference magnet comes with the kit.
PUSH Output Pin Contactless pushbutton function output Adapter Board Description The AS5601 is connected over the dual-row 2.54mm 4-pin header footprint. Connect the desired pins of the AS5601 using the headers and resistors. Figure 1: Adapterboard Description Short J1 to operate in 3.3V mode...
Sensor Magnet (d6x2,5) AS5601 The magnet should be aligned by reading the output of the AGC register of the AS5601. For optimal alignment, the AGC value is in the middle of the AGC range. Note: If the magnetic field seen by the AS5601 is below 8mT, the output is disconnected and permanent angle programming is not possible.
Note: To use the push-button functionality AS5601 Configuration All options to configure the AS5601 are shown below. To use the AS5601 in incremental mode for a contactless rotary knob, the electrical signal must be aligned with the mechanical grid. As well the push-button threshold must be configured for the mechanical setup.
0xFF) can be used to permanently program a configuration. 6.3.1 Low Power Mode Three low power modes are available to reduce the power consumption down to 1,5mA max. ams Eval Kit Manual, Confidential Page 7 [v1-00] 2014-Jul-31 Document Feedback...
6.3.5 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.
J1=OPEN: 5V Adapterboard can be used with J1=CLOSED: 3.3V (Use 4pin I2C header in 3.3V m Note4: AS5601 I2C Address is 0x36h Note3: Note2: Optional pull-ups not populated Adapterboard can be used with AS5XXX-UCB-1.0 (Use 4pin I2C header in 3.3V mode)
Smart Encoder IC Evaluation tools To configure the AS5601, no dedicated programmer is needed. For fast setup time the USB I&P Box can be used to configure the AS5601 over I C. The USB I&P Box can be ordered from the ams webpage.
