Magnetic Position Sensor

The use of sensors in automotive and industrial applications have dramatically increased, similarly there’s been an increase in number of electrical fields or stray field present in this kind of applications. The magnetic sensors and other sensors are exposed to this stray field that can affect its reliability and system safety. The AS5048 has a stray field immunity that can withstand external stray field. The AS5048 is a 14-bit high-resolution output with 360° angular position sensor that has a maximum system accuracy of 0.05° assuming that the linearization and averaging is done by the external microcontroller. It requires no additional programmer, since a simple programming of the zero position is possible over the interface. Read more
