AS5600-ASOT

AS5600-ASOT is a 12Bit programmable contactless potentiometer. It is an easy to program magnetic rotary position sensor with a high-resolution 12bit analog or PWM output. This contactless system measures the absolute angle of a diametric magnetized on-axis magnet. It is designed for contactless potentiometer applications and its robust design eliminates the influence of any homogenous external stray magnetic fields. Industry-standard I²C interface supports simple user programming of non-volatile parameters without requiring a dedicated programmer. By default, the output represents a range from 0 to 360 degrees. It is also possible to define a smaller range to the output by programming a zero angle (start position) and a maximum angle (stop position). It is also equipped with a smart low-power mode feature to automatically reduce the power consumption. It is suited for contactless potentiometers, contactless knobs, pedals, RC servos and other angular position measurement solutions.
