AS5601-ASOT
Overview
The AS5601-ASOT is a programmable Hall-effect magnetic rotary contactless encoder designed for high-resolution angular measurement. It provides an incremental quadrature output (A/B) and a push-button function, making it an ideal digital replacement for traditional mechanical rotary encoders. The device communicates via I2C and supports a supply voltage range of 3.3V to 5V.
Why Choose This Part
The AS5601 features a high-performance Hall sensor array that is immune to external stray magnetic fields, ensuring high reliability in noisy environments. Its contactless sensing technology eliminates mechanical wear, and the SOIC-8 package enables easy surface-mount integration with low power consumption of 6.5mA during operation.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate the sensor, use the AS5601-DK-ST development kit or connect the SOIC-8 chip to an I2C-capable microcontroller like an Arduino or ESP32. Configuration of the zero position and output resolution can be performed via the I2C interface, and a simple 2-pole diametrical magnet must be placed over the center of the IC.
