Incremental rotary encoder AM256

absolutemagnetic8-bit

The IC senses the angular position of a permanent magnet placed above the chip. The permanent magnet must be diametrically polarized and of cylindrical shape. The AM256 uses Hall sensor technology to detect the magnetic flux density distribution at the surface of the silicon. Hall sensors are placed in a circular array around the center of the IC and deliver a voltage representation of magnetic field distribution. Features Low power consumption 13 mA typical. SMD package SSOP28 Benefits Contactless angular position encoding over 360° Ideal for harsh environments due to magnetic sensing Complete system-on-chip solution Factory optimised linearity Product data Electrical Current consumption Typ. 13 mA
