AS5304A

AS5304A is a single-chip IC with integrated hall elements for measuring linear or rotary motion using multi-pole magnetic strips or rings. It allows the usage of the AS5304 in applications where the sensor IC cannot be mounted at the end of a rotating device (e.g. at hollow shafts). Instead, the AS5304 is mounted off-axis underneath a multi-pole magnetized ring or strip and provides a quadrature incremental output with 40 pulses per pole period at speeds of up to 20 meters/second. A single index pulse is generated once for every pole pair at the index output. It features circular off-axis movement measurement using multi-pole magnetic rings, magnetic field strength indicator, magnetic field alarm for end-of-strip or missing magnet. It is ideal for high-speed linear motion and off-axis rotation measurement in applications, such as electrical motors, X-Y-stages, rotation knobs, and industrial drives.
