AS5048A in AS5048 / AS5600 Magnetic Encoders Family
The AS5048A family by ams OSRAM is a high-resolution 14-bit contactless magnetic rotary encoder designed for 360-degree angle sensing. Utilizing Hall-effect technology, these sensors measure the orthogonal component of the magnetic flux density from a rotating magnet. They are widely adopted as high-precision alternatives to traditional optical encoders and resolvers, offering robust performance in harsh environments where dust, dirt, and moisture would otherwise compromise optical sensing pathways. The series communicates primarily via a standard SPI digital interface.
Variants in This Sub-Family
| Part Number | Difference | Stock |
|---|---|---|
| AS5048A-HTSP (ams OSRAM) | HTSP | 2,873 |
| AS5048A-TS_EK_AB (ams OSRAM) | TS_EK_AB | 158 |
Variants in the AS5048A sub-family differ primarily in packaging and integration level. Standard suffix codes like -TS_EK_AB denote evaluation kits or adapter boards designed for rapid prototyping. The -HTSP suffix refers to high-temperature TSSOP packaging, while differences in branding (ams vs. ams OSRAM) reflect corporate restructuring rather than silicon changes. Some variants are specifically binned for automotive grade or industrial temperature ranges.
