Magnetic Encoder Osram AS5600-ASOT

Description

The RAK12054 is a Encoder Sensor module, part of the WisBlock sensor Series. It is based on the Osram AS5600 that is an easy to program magnetic rotary position sensor with a high-resolution 12-bit analog or PWM output. This contactless system measures the absolute angle of a diametric magnetized on-axis magnet. By default the output represents a range from 0 to 360 egrees. 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 also equipped with a smart low power mode feature to automatically reduce the power consumption. An input pin (DIR) selects the polarity of the output with regard to rotation direction. If DIR is connected to ground, the output value increases with clockwise rotation. If DIR is connected to VDD, the output value increases with counterclockwise rotation.

Typical applications are

• contactless potentiometers
• contactless knobs
• pedals
• RC servos
