AS5311-ATST

AS5311-ATST is a high resolution magnetic linear encoder. It is a contactless high resolution magnetic linear encoder for accurate linear motion and off-axis rotary sensing with a resolution down to 0.5µm. It is a system-on-chip, combining integrated Hall elements, analogue front end, and digital signal processing on a single chip, package. A multi-pole magnetic strip or ring with a pole length of 1.0mm is required to sense the rotational or linear motion. The magnetic strip is placed above the IC at a distance of typ. 0.3mm. The absolute measurement provides an instant indication of the magnet position within one pole pair with a resolution of 488nm per step (12- bit over 2.0mm). This digital data is available as a serial bit stream and as a PWM signal. The application includes micro-actuator feedback, servo drive feedback, robotics, and replacement of optical encoders.

• Two 12bit digital absolute outputs, serial interface and pulse width modulated (PWM) output
