AS5600 in AS5048 / AS5600 Magnetic Encoders Family
The AS5600 family, manufactured by ams OSRAM, consists of high-resolution contactless magnetic rotary position sensors designed for cost-sensitive motion control applications. These 12-bit sensors utilize Hall effect technology to measure the orthogonal component of the magnetic field from a diametrically magnetized on-axis magnet. Primarily used for absolute angle sensing, they offer a low-cost alternative to mechanical potentiometers and optical encoders, providing high reliability and long-term stability in compact form factors suitable for space-constrained industrial and consumer designs.
Variants in This Sub-Family
| Part Number | Difference | Stock |
|---|---|---|
| AS5600-ASOT (ams OSRAM) | ASOT | 5,805 |
Variants within the AS5600 family primarily differ in packaging options, such as the standard SOIC-8 or more compact TSSOP formats, and specific thermal ratings for industrial versus consumer temperature ranges. While the core 12-bit sensing logic remains consistent, certain part numbers may be associated with older branding from ams or newer ams OSRAM labels. Some variants are optimized for higher volume manufacturing with specific reel sizing for automated pick-and-place assembly.
