Overview

The AS5048B-TS_EK_AB is an adapter board designed to evaluate the AS5048B high-resolution magnetic rotary encoder. It features an I2C interface and provides a 14-bit resolution output for contactless angle measurement. The board simplifies prototyping by breaking out the sensor pins to a standard header for easy connection to external microcontrollers.

Why Choose This Part

The board utilizes a 14-bit core to deliver 0.0219 degree resolution, enabling extremely smooth motion control. Its I2C interface supports multi-device bus configurations, while the magnetic sensing technology is immune to dust, dirt, and moisture that typically degrade optical encoders.

Applications

Robotic Joint Positioning
Providing precise angular feedback for servo motors and articulated robotic arms.
Industrial Valve Control
Monitoring the exact position of rotary valves in harsh environments where physical contact is undesirable.
BLDC Motor Commutation
Providing absolute position data for high-torque brushless DC motor control loops.
Knobs and HMI
Creating high-durability digital potentiometers or rotary selectors for industrial panels.

Getting Started

Connect the adapter board to any I2C-enabled microcontroller like an Arduino or ESP32 using the provided pin headers. Ensure a diametrically magnetized magnet is placed 0.5mm to 3mm above the sensor center. Use the ams OSRAM evaluation software or standard I2C libraries to read the 14-bit angle registers.

Also Consider

AS5047P Adapter Board ams OSRAM - Better suited for high-speed motor applications due to its DAEC dynamic angle error compensation.
AS5048A Adapter Board ams OSRAM - Identical 14-bit sensor performance but utilizes an SPI interface instead of I2C for faster data throughput.
