Description

ams' AS540x series uses two “pixel-cells” in a differential mode to guaranty robustness against all possible external influences like magnetic stray fields. In addition the IC contains an EEPROM to give a maximum of freedom to system designers concerning programming and linearization of the IC.

By using a simple two pole magnet, the absolute position information of the magnet is directly accessible over a SPI interface for module or as a PWM interface for remote applications. The AS540x series is operational over an ambient temperature range from -40°C up to 150°C and operates either up to 18V for the automotive or 3V supply voltage for the industry version. The AS540x family will be available in a small lead-free TSSOP package.
