Data Sheet AR25 Smart Programmable 25-Bits Reflective Absolute Single-Turn Encoder Overview The Broadcom® AR25 is a miniature absolute encoder ASIC that is designed to cater the growing demand for space-constraint applications. Employing the advance reflective optical-encoding theory, the AR25 Series offer high position accuracy with correction algorithm, which is unattainable by the magnetic encoders. The AR25 encoder is a one-chip solution that has the flexibility to cater variable overall diameters, ranging from 30 mm to 60 mm. The AR25 also supports through-hole solutions up to 30 mm in diameter. User-programmable resolutions are from 15 bits up to 25 bits single-turn absolute outputs. In addition, the AR25 also provides differential analog Sine/Cosine or digital incremental ABIUVW signals with configurable CPRs and pole-pairs. The AR25 also comes with a state-of-the-art Auto-Calibration feature that eases customer’s integration into their end systems. The AR25 series also supports integration with Broadcom proprietary battery-less Energy Harvesting Multi-Turn (EHMT) solution. Alternatively, other multi-turn solutions like gear-based and battery back-up are also supported by a dedicated MT interface port. For power supply, the ASIC supports dual-mode operating voltages of either 3.3V or 5V, which are suitable for handheld and portable device applications. Operating temperature range is –40°C to 125°C, suitable for most industrial applications. To enhance the user system-design flexibility, the AR25 offers various protocols that are selectable by the user. Among the available protocols are Encoder Serial Link (ESL) or RS485 half-duplex protocol, SSI, BiSS-C, and SPI 4-wire.
