Note that the polarization of the magnet will change when it is rotated as the pole arrangement not symmetric. This will influence the position of the index pulse. An index pulse is generated when the North and South poles are placed over the Hall array as shown in Figure 2. The incremental output count increases when the magnet is moving to the left, facing the chip with pin#1 at the lower left corner (see Figure 2, top drawing). At the same time, the absolute position information increases. Likewise, the position information decreases when the magnet is moved in the opposite direction. Note that there is no hysteresis at the absolute output. In order to get a stable 12-bit absolute reading, it may be necessary to filter the values by averaging, e.g. a moving average calculation in the external microcontroller. Averaging 4 readings results in 6dB (=50%) noise and jitter reduction. An average of 16 readings reduces the jitter by a factor of 4. Mounting the Magnet Strip The magnet strip may be mounted directly on magnetic or non-magnetic surfaces. When magnetic surfaces are used, the strip must be mounted on top of the surface, but not immersed in a cavity, as this may weaken the magnetic field of the magnet. When mounting the magnet on a non-magnetic surface, either method is acceptable. For more rigid demands, magnet suppliers offer customized solutions where the magnet material is directly overmolded on the carrier, e.g. a shaft, bushing, plate, etc.. Please contact your magnet supplier for more information.

See Figure 2 for the position of the Hall array relative to Pin #1. Vertical Distance The vertical distance between the magnet strip and the top of the IC package should be 0.4mm. Note that the vertical distance depends on the strength of the magnet. The AS5306 automatically adjusts for fluctuating magnet strength by using an automatic gain control (AGC). There are several indicators for proper magnetic field strength available with the AS5306. The vertical distance should be set such that the AO voltage is between 1.0 and 4.0V. See the AS5306 datasheet for more details. See also Error! Reference source not found. for measurement data of the MS12-250 magnetic strip. Lateral Stroke The lateral movement range (stroke) can cover the active area of the magnetic strip (see Figure 1) as long as all Hall sensors of the IC are covered by the magnet. The Hall array on the AS5306 has a length of 2.0mm, hence the total stroke is Stroke = Length of active area - length of Hal array = 300.0mm - 2.0mm = 298.0mm www.austrimaicrosystems.com Revision 0.1 3-6 AS53xx Linear Multipole Magnetic Strip Magnet Specification Figure 2: Alignment of magnet strip with AS5306 sensor IC position value increases leftmost magnet position Die C/L S N S N S N S N S 3.04750.235 N AS5306 Package Outline 1.00 position value decreases rightmost magnet position S 2.5760.235 3.2000.235 Die C/L N S N S N S N S N 1.00 3.04750.235 vertical airgap magnet strip carrier see text 1.00 0.1 Note: all dimensions are in mm Note that the polarization of the magnet will be reversed when it is rotated or flipped (see Magnetization for more details). www.austrimaicrosystems.com Revision 0.1 4-6 AS53xx Linear Multipole Magnetic Strip Magnet Specification 5 Adhesive Tape Specification www.austrimaicrosystems.com Revision 0.1 5-6 Copyrights Copyright (c) 2011, austriamicrosystems AG, Schloss Premstaetten, 8141 Unterpremstaetten, Austria-Europe.
