General Description

The adapter board allows an easy and fast evaluation of the AS5600 rotary magnetic position
sensor in the lab or together with an existing system. This small factor board is fully assembled with
AS5600 position sensor and its necessary external components. All relevant signals are available
on a dual-row 2.54mm 4-pin header footprint and can be easily wired to an existing application.
The AS5600 is a programmable Hall-based rotary magnetic position sensor with a high-resolution
12-bit analog or PWM output for contactless potentiometers. Based on planar Hall technology, this
device measures the orthogonal component of the flux density (Bz) from an external magnet while
rejecting stray magnetic fields.
The default range of the output is 0 to 360 degrees, but the full resolution of the device can be
applied to smaller range by programming a zero angle (start position) and maximum angle (stop
position).
The I²C interface is used for configuration and user programming of non-volatile parameters in the
AS5600 without requiring a dedicated programmer.

Getting Started

The AS5600 adapter board is ideal for rapid setup of a contactless potentiometer. Additionally to the
adapter board, a sensor magnet in a mechanical setup is required. A reference magnet comes with
the kit.
