AS5048A-TS_EK_AB
Overview
The AS5048A-TS_EK_AB is an adapter board designed to evaluate the AS5048A magnetic rotary encoder IC. It provides a simple hardware interface to access the 14-bit resolution position data via a standard SPI interface. The board is designed for rapid prototyping and allows for easy mounting over a target magnet to test absolute angle sensing capabilities.
Why Choose This Part
This adapter board features the AS5048A IC which offers high-precision 14-bit resolution and a zero-position that can be programmed via SPI. It includes the necessary passive components for immediate operation and follows a compact form factor suitable for mounting in space-constrained mechanical assemblies.
Applications
Getting Started
Connect the adapter board to any microcontroller with a 4-wire SPI interface and a 3.3V or 5V power supply. Position a diametrically magnetized magnet approximately 0.5mm to 3mm above the sensor center. Use the ams OSRAM USB adapter box and associated evaluation software for PC-based configuration and real-time position monitoring.
