1 Introduction

The AS5048 adapter board is a small PCB allowing simple and quick testing or evaluation of the

AS5048 magnetic position sensor without the need to build a test fixture or design an own PCB.

2 Board Description

The PCB can either be connected to an external microcontroller or to the Universal Connector

Board (AS5xxx-UCB) in combination with a NI USB-8451 box and a provided LabVIEW software.

P1 has to be populated with a 1x8 pin header and is required for power supply as well as SPI/I2C

and PWM interfaces.

The PCB is available in two versions. Either populated with an AS5048A with SPI or AS5048B with

I2C interface.

2.1 Mounting the AS5048 adapter board

Figure 3: Mounting and dimensions

A 6x2.5mm diametric magnet must be placed over or under the AS5048 sensor, and should be

centered on the middle of the package with a tolerance of 0.5mm. The airgap between the

magnet surface and the package should be maintained in the range 0.5mm to 3mm. The magnet

holder must not be ferromagnetic. Materials as brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel are the

best choices to make this part.

4 Operation cases

The most complete and accurate solution for a MCU to read the angle of a magnet is the SPI

interface.

4.1 One Device SPI mode, unidirectional –3 wire

The AS5048-EK-AB can be directly connected to an industry standard SPI port of a microcontroller.

The minimum connection requirement for unidirectional communication (angle + alarm values

reading) between the microcontroller and the AS5048 are MISO, SCK, SS/.

The angle will be read at each 16-bit SPI transfer. See AS5048 datasheet register table, register

3FFFh.

4.2 One device SPI mode, bidirectional –4 wire

If other registers than only angle values have to be read, or in order to write registers into the

AS5048, the signal MOSI is necessary.

4.3 Multi devices SPI Daisy chain mode

The AS5048 can be daisy chained, using 4 wires only for SPI communication.

In this configuration with n x encoders, the sequence will be processed as follow:

- MCU sets SS/ = 0

- MCU shifts n x 16-bit (e.g. READ command FFFFh) through the chain

- MCU sets SS/=1

At that point all the n x encoders have received the READ command FFFFh.

- MCU sets SS/=0

- MCU shifts n x 16-bit (e.g. NOP command 0000h)

- MCU sets SS/=1

At that point the n x 16-bit received on MISO are the n x angle values.

5 Software example source code

The following source code shows a 4-wire SPI application case.
