AS5145-SS_EK_DB

AS5145-SS_EK_DB belongs to the evaluation board series designed for AS5145 magnetic sensors. AS5145 is a contactless magnetic rotary position sensor, combining Hall devices, linear decoding and PWM sin/cos signal outputs in a single chip.

The AS5145-SS_EK_DB evaluation board contains all the logic and circuitry needed to utilize the features and functions of the AS5145. The AS5145-SS_EK_DB is perfect for an engineer wanting to evaluate all of the features and functions of the AS5145 magnetic sensor. It also provides access to all of the pins on the device so that engineers can try different configurations.

The AS5145-SS_EK_DB can be used in a wide range of applications where a precise and reproducible position or angle measurement is required. It is an ideal solution for applications such as motor position monitoring, linear encoders, and robotic motion control where reliable angle measurement is essential.

The key feature is its ability to work in an extremely wide variety of magnetic fields. It can detect a field strength of up to ±2400mT, making it suitable for high-field sensing applications. The device is also capable of working with a wide range of field frequencies, from DC to 500 kHz.

In addition to its robust field sensing capability, the AS5145-SS_EK_DB offers a wide range of features and configuration options. It offers a range of outputs including PWM sin/cos signals, sine/cosine integrated and discrete outputs, as well as a mag, quadrature, and 11-bit absolute position output. It is also capable of working with I²C, SPI, and UART communication protocols.

The working principle of the AS5145-SS_EK_DB is quite straightforward. The device employs a Hall array located at the center of the package. The Hall array senses the surrounding magnetic field and converts it into a Hall voltage. This Hall voltage is then digitized and interpreted by the decoding logic to produce a relative or absolute position signal.

The AS5145-SS_EK_DB is a valuable tool for anyone interested in testing and validating the performance of magnetic field sensing. It offers an easy-to-use platform that can be quickly set up and tested, without the need for any additional circuitry or special tools. It is also well suited for use in industrial applications where accurate and reliable field sensing is required in a reliable and cost-effective way.
