AMS OSRAM GROUP AS5600-ASOM Magnetic Position Sensor, 12 Bit, SOIC-8, 4.5 to 5.5 VDC, 500 µA, SMD, AS5600 Series

AS5600-ASOM is a 12bit programmable contactless potentiometer. It is an easy to program magnetic rotary position sensor with a high-resolution 12bit analogue or PWM output. This contactless system measures the absolute angle of a diametric magnetized on-axis magnet. This AS5600 is designed for contactless potentiometer applications and its robust design eliminates the influence of any homogenous external stray magnetic fields. The industry-standard I²C interface supports simple user programming of non-volatile parameters without requiring a dedicated programmer. By default, the output represents a range from 0 to 360 degrees. It is also possible to define a smaller range to the output by programming a zero angle (start position) and a maximum angle (stop position). The AS5600 is ideally suited for contactless potentiometers, contactless knobs, pedals, RC servos, and other angular position measurement solutions.
