Austriamicrosystems has introduced the AS5215, a dual die automotive magnetic rotary encoder IC for safety challenging applications, such as electronic power steering systems. This solution is based on the company's stacked-die technology.
The IC is developed to provide a position sensing solution and allows customers to design cost efficient systems. It can be implemented in system architectures, providing contactless angle measurements, without replacing or modifying electronic control units.
The amplitude of the output signal is programmable through sensitivity and gain settings. Due to its selectable output mode signals such as raw, inverted or DC-referenced, the rotary encoder IC can fit a variety of motion sensing systems, which require measurement redundancy for safety reasons.
The dual die magnetic rotary encoder IC provides better phase matching and low sensitivity drift over the full ambient temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. It is available in a small TSSOP 14 package and operates at 5V supply.
