AS5045
12-Bit Programmable Magnetic Rotary
Position Sensor
General Description
The AS5045 is a contactless magnetic position sensor for
accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360°. It is a
system-on-chip, combining integrated Hall elements, analog
front end and digital signal processing in a single device.
To measure the angle, only a simple two-pole magnet, rotating
over the center of the chip, is required. The magnet may be
placed above or below the IC.
The absolute angle measurement provides instant indication of
the magnet’s angular position with a resolution of
0.0879° = 4096 positions per revolution. This digital data is
available as a serial bit stream and as a PWM signal.
An internal voltage regulator allows the AS5045 to operate at
either 3.3 V or 5 V supplies.
Ordering Information and Content Guide appear at end of
datasheet.

Pin Description
Figure 4 shows the description of each pin of the standard
SSOP16 package (Shrink Small Outline Package, 16 leads, body
size: 5.3mm x 6.2mmm; see Figure 3).
Pins 7, 15 and 16 supply pins, pins 3, 4, 5, 6, 13 and 14 are for
internal use and must not be connected.
Pins 1 and 2 MagINCn and MagDECn are the magnetic field
change indicators (magnetic field strength increase or decrease
through variation of the distance between the magnet and the
device). These outputs can be used to detect the valid magnetic
field range. Furthermore those indicators can also be used for
contact-less push-button functionality.
Pin 6 Mode allows switching between filtered (slow) and
unfiltered (fast mode). This pin must be tied to VSS or VDD5V,
and must not be switched after power up. See Mode Input Pin.
Pin 8 Prog is used to program the zero-position into the OTP.
See Zero Position Programming.
This pin is also used as digital input to shift serial data through
the device in Daisy Chain configuration. See Daisy Chain Mode.
Pin 11 Chip Select (CSn; active low) selects a device within a
network of AS5045 magnetic position sensors and initiates
serial data transfer. A logic high at CSn puts the data output pin
(DO) to tri-state and terminates serial data transfer. This pin is
also used for alignment mode and programming mode (see
Figure 27).

AS5045 − Pin Assignment
Pin 12 PWM allows a single-wire output of the 10-bit absolute
position value. The value is encoded into a pulse width
modulated signal with 1μs pulse width per step (1μs to 4096μs
over a full turn). By using an external low pass filter, the digital
PWM signal is converted into an analog voltage, making a direct
replacement of potentiometers possible.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
Detailed Description
The AS5045 is manufactured in a CMOS standard process and
uses a spinning current Hall technology for sensing the
magnetic field distribution across the surface of the chip. The
integrated Hall elements are placed around the center of the
device and deliver a voltage representation of the magnetic
field at the surface of the IC.
Through Sigma-Delta Analog / Digital Conversion and Digital
Signal-Processing (DSP) algorithms, the AS5045 provides
accurate high-resolution absolute angular position
information. For this purpose a Coordinate Rotation Digital
Computer (CORDIC) calculates the angle and the magnitude of
the Hall array signals. The DSP is also used to provide digital
information at the outputs MagINCn and MagDECn that
indicate movements of the used magnet towards or away from
the device’s surface. A small low cost diametrically magnetized
(two-pole) standard magnet provides the angular position
information (see Figure 30).
The AS5045 senses the orientation of the magnetic field and
calculates a 12-bit binary code. This code can be accessed via a
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI). In addition, an absolute
angular representation is given by a Pulse Width Modulated
signal at pin 12 (PWM). This PWM signal output also allows the
generation of a direct proportional analogue voltage, by using
an external Low-Pass-Filter. The AS5045 is tolerant to magnet
misalignment and magnetic stray fields due to differential
measurement technique and Hall sensor conditioning circuitry.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
Mode Input Pin
The mode input pin activates or deactivates an internal filter
that is used to reduce the analog output noise. Activating the
filter (Mode pin = LOW) provides a reduced output noise of 0.03°
rms. At the same time, the output delay is increased to 384μs.
This mode is recommended for high precision, low speed
applications.
Deactivating the filter (Mode pin = HIGH) reduces the output
delay to 96μs and provides an output noise of 0.06° rms. This
mode is recommended for higher speed applications.
The MODE pin should be set at power-up. A change of the mode
during operation is not allowed.
Switching the Mode pin affects the following parameters.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
If CSn changes to logic low, Data Out (DO) will change from high
impedance (tri-state) to logic high and the read-out will be
initiated.
• After a minimum time tCLK FE, data is latched into the
output shift register with the first falling edge of CLK.
• Each subsequent rising CLK edge shifts out one bit of data.
• The serial word contains 18 bits, the first 12 bits are the
angular information D[11:0], the subsequent 6 bits
contain system information, about the validity of data
such as OCF, COF, LIN, Parity and Magnetic Field status
(increase/decrease).
• A subsequent measurement is initiated by a “high” pulse
at CSn with a minimum duration of tCSn.
Data Content
D11:D0 – absolute angular position data (MSB is clocked out
first)
OCF – (Offset Compensation Finished), logic high indicates the
finished Offset Compensation Algorithm
COF – (CORDIC Overflow), logic high indicates an out of range
error in the CORDIC part. When this bit is set, the data at D9:D0
is invalid. The absolute output maintains the last valid angular
value. This alarm may be resolved by bringing the magnet
within the X-Y-Z tolerance limits.
LIN – (Linearity Alarm), logic high indicates that the input field
generates a critical output linearity. When this bit is set, the data
at D9:D0 may still be used, but can contain invalid data. This
warning may be resolved by bringing the magnet within the
X-Y-Z tolerance limits.
Even Parity – Bit for transmission error detection of bits 1 …17
(D11 …D0, OCF, COF, LIN, MagINC, MagDEC). Placing the
magnet above the chip, angular values increase in clockwise
direction by default.
Data D11:D0 is valid, when the status bits have the following
configurations.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
Daisy Chain Mode
The Daisy Chain mode allows connection of several AS5045’s in
series, while still keeping just one digital input for data transfer
(see “Data IN” in Figure 17). This mode is accomplished by
connecting the data output (DO; pin 9) to the data input (PROG;
pin 8) of the subsequent device. An RC filter must be
implemented between each PROG pin of device n and DO pin
of device n+1, to prevent then magnetic position sensors to
enter the alignment mode, in case of ESD discharge, long
cables, not conform signal levels or shape. Using the values
R=100R and C=1nF allow a max. CLK frequency of 1MHz on the
whole chain. The serial data of all connected devices is read
from the DO pin of the first device in the chain. The length of
the serial bit stream increases with every connected device, it
is n * (18+1) bits: For e.g., 38 bit for two devices, 57 bit for three
devices, etc.
The last data bit of the first device (Parity) is followed by a
dummy bit and the first data bit of the second device (D11), etc.
(see Figure 18).

AS5045 − Detailed Description
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Output
The AS5045 provides a pulse width modulated output (PWM),
whose duty cycle is proportional to the measured angle:
(EQ1)
Position =
ton ⋅ 4097
(ton + toff ) − 1
The PWM frequency is internally trimmed to an accuracy of ±5%
(±10% over full temperature range). This tolerance can be
cancelled by measuring the complete duty cycle as shown
above.

Analog Output
An analog output can be generated by averaging the PWM
signal, using an external active or passive low pass filter.
The analog output voltage is proportional to the angle: 0°= 0V;
360° = VDD5V.
Using this method, the AS5045 can be used as direct
replacement of potentiometers.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
The benefits of AS5045 are as follows:
• Complete system-on-chip
• Flexible system solution provides absolute and PWM
outputs simultaneously
• Ideal for applications in harsh environments due to
contactless position sensing
• No calibration required
Programming the AS5045
After power-on, programming the AS5045 is enabled with the
rising edge of CSn and Prog = logic high. 16 bit configuration
data must be serially shifted into the OTP register via the Prog
pin. The first “CCW” bit is followed by the zero position data
(MSB first) and the Mode setting bits. Data must be valid at the
rising edge of CLK (see Figure 23).
After writing the data into the OTP register it can be
permanently programmed by rising the Prog pin to the
programming voltage V PROG. 16 CLK pulses (tPROG) must be
applied to program the fuses (see Figure 24). To exit the
programming mode, the chip must be reset by a
power-on-reset. The programmed data is available after the
next power-up.
Note(s): During the programming process, the transitions in
the programming current may cause high voltage spikes
generated by the inductance of the connection cable. To avoid
these spikes and possible damage to the IC, the connection
wires, especially the signals Prog and VSS must be kept as short
as possible. The maximum wire length between the VPROG
switching transistor and pin Prog should not exceed 50mm (2
inches). To suppress eventual voltage spikes, a 10nF ceramic
capacitor should be connected close to pins VPROG and VSS.
This capacitor is only required for programming, it is not
required for normal operation. The clock timing t clk must be
selected at a proper rate to ensure that the signal Prog is stable
at the rising edge of CLK (see Figure 23). Additionally, the
programming supply voltage should be buffered with a 10μF
capacitor mounted close to the switching transistor. This
capacitor aids in providing peak currents during programming.
The specified programming voltage at pin Prog is 7.3 ~ 7.5V.
Refer to programming conditions in Figure 10.
To compensate for the voltage drop across the V PROG switching
transistor, the applied programming voltage may be set slightly
higher (7.5 ~ 8.0V, see Figure 25).

Zero Position Programming
Zero position programming is an OTP option that simplifies
assembly of a system, as the magnet does not need to be
manually adjusted to the mechanical zero position. Once the
assembly is completed, the mechanical and electrical zero
positions can be matched by software. Any position within a
full turn can be defined as the permanent new zero position.
For zero position programming, the magnet is turned to the
mechanical zero position (e.g. the “off”-position of a rotary
switch) and the actual angular value is read.
This value is written into the OTP register bits Z11:Z0
(see Figure 23) and programmed (see Figure 24).
The zero position value may also be modified before
programming, e.g. to program an electrical zero position that
is 180° (half turn) from the mechanical zero position, just add
2048 to the value read at the mechanical zero position and
program the new value into the OTP register.
Repeated OTP Programming
Although a single AS5045 OTP register bit can be programmed
only once (from 0 to 1), it is possible to program other,
unprogrammed bits in subsequent programming cycles.
However, a bit that has already been programmed should not
be programmed twice. Therefore it is recommended that bits
that are already programmed are set to “0” during a
programming cycle.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
Non-Permanent Programming
It is also possible to re-configure the AS5045 in a
non-permanent way by overwriting the OTP register.
This procedure is essentially a “Write Data” sequence
(see Figure 23) without a subsequent OTP programming cycle.
The “Write Data” sequence may be applied at any time during
normal operation. This configuration remains set while the
power supply voltage is above the power-on reset level (see
Electrical System Specifications).

Analog Readback Mode
Non-volatile programming (OTP) uses on-chip zener diodes,
which become permanently low resistive when subjected to a
specified reverse current.
The quality of the programming process depends on the
amount of current that is applied during the programming
process (up to 130mA). This current must be provided by an
external voltage source. If this voltage source cannot provide
adequate power, the zener diodes may not be programmed
properly.
In order to verify the quality of the programmed bit, an analog
level can be read for each zener diode, giving an indication
whether this particular bit was properly programmed or not.
To put the AS5045 in Analog Readback Mode, a digital sequence
must be applied to pins CSn, PROG and CLK as shown in
Figure 26. The digital level for this pin depends on the supply
configuration (3.3V or 5V) (see 3.3V / 5V Operation).
The second rising edge on CSn (OutpEN) changes pin PROG to
a digital output and the log. high signal at pin PROG must be
removed to avoid collision of outputs (grey area in Figure 26).
The following falling slope of CSn changes pin PROG to an
analog output, providing a reference voltage V ref, that must be
saved as a reference for the calculation of the subsequent
programmed and unprogrammed OTP bits.

[v3-00] 2022-Mar-03

Document Feedback
AS5045 − Detailed Description
Following this step, each rising slope of CLK outputs one bit of
data in the reverse order as during programming
(see Figure 23: Md0-MD1-Div0,Div1-Indx-Z0…Z11, ccw).
If a capacitor is connected to pin PROG, it should be removed
during analog readback mode to allow a fast readout rate. If the
capacitor is not removed the analog voltage will take longer to
stabilize due to the additional capacitance.
The measured analog voltage for each bit must be subtracted
from the previously measured V ref, and the resulting value gives
an indication on the quality of the programmed bit: a reading
of 1V indicates a properly unprogrammed bit.
A reading between 100mV and 1V indicates a faulty bit, which
may result in an undefined digital value, when the OTP is read
at power-up.
Following the 18 th clock (after reading bit “ccw”), the chip must
be reset by disconnecting the power supply.

Alignment Mode
The alignment mode simplifies centering the magnet over the
center of the chip to gain maximum accuracy.
Alignment mode can be enabled with the falling edge of CSn
while Prog = logic high (see Figure 27). The Data bits
D11-D0 of the SSI change to a 12-bit displacement amplitude
output. A high value indicates large X or Y displacement, but
also higher absolute magnetic field strength. The magnet is
properly aligned, when the difference between highest and
lowest value over one full turn is at a minimum.
Under normal conditions, a properly aligned magnet will result
in a reading of less than 128 over a full turn.
The MagINCn and MagDECn indicators will be = 1 when the
alignment mode reading is < 128. At the same time, both
hardware pins MagINCn (#1) and MagDECn (#2) will be pulled
to VSS. A properly aligned magnet will therefore produce a
MagINCn = MagDECn = 1 signal throughout a full 360° turn of
the magnet.
Stronger magnets or short gaps between magnet and IC may
show values larger than 128. These magnets are still properly
aligned as long as the difference between highest and lowest
value over one full turn is at a minimum.
The alignment mode can be reset to normal operation by a
power-on-reset (disconnect / re-connect power supply) or by a
falling edge on CSn with Prog = low.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
3.3V / 5V Operation
The AS5045 operates either at 3.3V ±10% or at 5V ±10%. This is
made possible by an internal 3.3V Low-Dropout (LDO) Voltage
regulator. The internal supply voltage is always taken from the
output of the LDO, meaning that the internal blocks are always
operating at 3.3V.
For 3.3V operation, the LDO must be bypassed by connecting
VDD3V3 with VDD5V (see Figure 29).
For 5V operation, the 5V supply is connected to pin VDD5V,
while VDD3V3 (LDO output) must be buffered by a 2.2...10μF
capacitor, which is supposed to be placed close to the supply
pin (see Figure 29).
The VDD3V3 output is intended for internal use only It must not
be loaded with an external load (see Figure 29).

Choosing the Proper Magnet
Typically the magnet should be 6mm in diameter and ≥2.5mm
in height. Magnetic materials such as rare earth AlNiCo/SmCo5
or NdFeB are recommended. The magnetic field strength
perpendicular to the die surface has to be in the range of ±45mT
to ±75mT (peak).
The magnet’s field strength should be verified using a
gauss-meter. The magnetic field Bv at a given distance, along a
concentric circle with a radius of 1.1mm (R1), should be in the
range of ±45mT to ±75mT (see Figure 30).

Magnet Placement. The magnet’s center axis should be aligned
within a displacement radius Rd of 0.25mm from the defined

The magnet may be placed below or above the device. The
distance should be chosen such that the magnetic field on the
die surface is within the specified limits (see Figure 30). The
typical distance “z” between the magnet and the package
surface is 0.5mm to 1.5mm, provided the use of the
recommended magnet material and dimensions (6mm x 3mm).
Larger distances are possible, as long as the required magnetic
field strength stays within the defined limits.
However, a magnetic field outside the specified range may still
produce usable results, but the out-of-range condition will be
indicated by MagINCn (pin 1) and MagDECn (pin 2), see

AS5045 − Detailed Description
Failure Diagnostics
The AS5045 also offers several diagnostic and failure detection
features:
Magnetic Field Strength Diagnosis
By Software: The MagINC and MagDEC status bits will both be
high when the magnetic field is out of range.
By Hardware: Pins #1 (MagINCn) and #2 (MagDECn) are
open-drain outputs and will both be turned on (= low with
external pull-up resistor) when the magnetic field is out of
range. If only one of the outputs are low, the magnet is either
moving towards the chip (MagINCn) or away from the chip
(MagDECn).
Power Supply Failure Detection
By Software: If the power supply to the AS5045 is interrupted,
the digital data read by the SSI will be all “0”s. Data is only valid,
when bit OCF is high, hence a data stream with all “0”s is invalid.
To ensure adequate low levels in the failure case, a pull-down
resistor (~10kΩ) should be added between pin DO and VSS at
the receiving side.
By Hardware: The MagINCn and MagDECn pins are open drain
outputs and require external pull-up resistors. In normal
operation, these pins are high ohmic and the outputs are high
(see Figure 15). In a failure case, either when the magnetic field
is out of range of the power supply is missing, these outputs
will become low. To ensure adequate low levels in case of a
broken power supply to the AS5045, the pull-up resistors
(~10kΩ) from each pin must be connected to the positive
supply at pin 16 (VDD5V).
By Hardware, PWM Output: The PWM output is a constant
stream of pulses with 1kHz repetition frequency. In case of
power loss, these pulses are missing.

Angular Output Tolerances
Accuracy
Accuracy is defined as the error between measured angle and
actual angle. It is influenced by several factors:
• The non-linearity of the analog-digital converters
• Internal gain and mismatch errors
• Non-linearity due to misalignment of the magnet
As a sum of all these errors, the accuracy with centered magnet
= (Err max – Errmin)/2 is specified as better than ±0.5 degrees @
25°C (see Figure 33) Misalignment of the magnet further
reduces the accuracy. Figure 32 shows an example of a
3D-graph displaying non-linearity over XY-misalignment. The
center of the square XY-area corresponds to a centered magnet
(see dot in the center of the graph). The X- and Y- axis extends
to a misalignment of ±1mm in both directions. The total
misalignment area of the graph covers a square of 2x2 mm
(79x79mil) with a step size of 100μm.
For each misalignment step, the measurement as shown in
Figure 33 is repeated and the accuracy (Errmax – Errmin)/2 (e.g.
0.25°) is entered as the Z-axis in the 3D-graph.

Transition Noise
Transition noise is defined as the jitter in the transition between
two steps. Due to the nature of the measurement principle (Hall
sensors + Preamplifier + ADC), there is always a certain degree
of noise involved. This transition noise voltage results in an
angular transition noise at the outputs. It is specified as 0.06
degrees rms (1 sigma)1 in fast mode (pin MODE = high) and 0.03
degrees rms (1 sigma) in slow mode (pin MODE = low or open).
This is the repeatability of an indicated angle at a given
mechanical position.
1. Statistically, 1 sigma represents 68.27% of readings, 3 sigma represents 99.73% of readings.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
The transition noise has different implications on the type of
output that is used:
• Absolute Output; SSI Interface: The transition noise of
the absolute output can be reduced by the user by
implementing averaging of readings. An averaging of 4
readings will reduce the transition noise by 6dB or 50%,
e.g. from 0.03°rms to 0.015°rms (1 sigma) in slow mode.
• PWM Interface: If the PWM interface is used as an analog
output by adding a low pass filter, the transition noise can
be reduced by lowering the cutoff frequency of the filter.
If the PWM interface is used as a digital interface with a
counter at the receiving side, the transition noise may
again be reduced by averaging of readings.
High Speed Operation
Sampling Rate: The AS5045 samples the angular value at a rate
of 2.61k (slow mode) or 10.42k (fast mode, selectable by pin
MODE) samples per second. Consequently, the absolute
outputs are updated each 384μs (96μs in fast mode). At a
stationary position of the magnet, the sampling rate creates no
additional error.
Absolute Mode: At a sampling rate of 2.6kHz/10.4kHz, the
number of samples (n) per turn for a magnet rotating at high
speed can be calculated by
(EQ3)
nslow mod e =
60
rpm ⋅ 384 μs
(EQ4)
n fast mod e =
60
rpm ⋅ 96 μs
The upper speed limit in slow mode is ~6.000rpm and
~30.000rpm in fast mode. The only restriction at high speed is
that there will be fewer samples per revolution as the speed
increases.
Regardless of the rotational speed, the absolute angular value
is always sampled at the highest resolution of 12 bit.
Propagation Delays
The propagation delay is the delay between the time that the
sample is taken until it is converted and available as angular
data. This delay is 96μs in fast mode and 384μs in slow mode.
Using the SSI interface for absolute data transmission, an
additional delay must be considered, caused by the
asynchronous sampling (0 … 1/f sample) and the time it takes the
external control unit to read and process the angular data from
the chip (maximum clock rate = 1MHz, number of bits per
reading = 18).

AS5045 − Detailed Description
Angular Error Caused by Propagation Delay: A rotating
magnet will cause an angular error caused by the output
propagation delay.
This error increases linearly with speed:
(EQ5)
esampling, = rpm ∗ 6 * prop.delay
Where:
e sampling = angular error [°]
rpm = rotating speed [rpm]
prop.delay = propagation delay [seconds]
Note(s): Since the propagation delay is known, it can be
automatically compensated by the control unit processing the
data from the AS5045.
Internal Timing Tolerance
The AS5045 does not require an external ceramic resonator or
quartz. All internal clock timings for the AS5045 are generated
by an on-chip RC oscillator. This oscillator is factory trimmed to
±5% accuracy at room temperature (±10% over full temperature
range). This tolerance influences the ADC sampling rate and the
pulse width of the PWM output.
• Absolute Output; SSI Interface: A new angular value is
updated every 96μs (typ.) in fast mode and every 384μs
(typ.) in slow mode.
• PWM Output: A new angular value is updated every 400μs
(typ.). The PWM pulse timings T on and T off also have the
same tolerance as the internal oscillator. If only the PWM
pulse width T on is used to measure the angle, the resulting
value also has this timing tolerance. However, this
tolerance can be cancelled by measuring both T on and T off
and calculating the angle from the duty cycle.

Position =
ton ⋅ 4097
(ton + toff ) − 1
Temperature
Magnetic Temperature Coefficient: One of the major benefits
of the AS5045 compared to linear Hall sensors is that it is much
less sensitive to temperature. While linear Hall sensors require
a compensation of the magnet’s temperature coefficients, the
AS5045 automatically compensates for the varying magnetic
field strength over temperature. The magnet’s temperature
drift does not need to be considered, as the AS5045 operates
with magnetic field strengths from ±45…±75mT.
Example:
An NdFeB magnet has a field strength of 75mT @ -40°C and a
temperature coefficient of -0.12% per Kelvin. The temperature
change is from -40° to 125° = 165K. The magnetic field change
is: 165 x -0.12% = -19.8%, which corresponds to 75mT at -40°C
and 60mT at 125°C.

AS5045 − Detailed Description
The AS5045 can compensate for this temperature related field
strength change automatically, no user adjustment is required.
Accuracy over Temperature:
The influence of temperature in the absolute accuracy is very
low. While the accuracy is ≤ ±0.5° at room temperature, it may
increase to ≤±0.9° due to increasing noise at high temperatures.
Timing Tolerance over Temperature: The internal RC oscillator
is factory trimmed to ±5%. Over temperature, this tolerance
may increase to ±10%. Generally, the timing tolerance has no
influence in the accuracy or resolution of the system, as it is
used mainly for internal clock generation. The only concern to
the user is the width of the PWM output pulse, which relates
directly to the timing tolerance of the internal oscillator. This
influence however can be cancelled by measuring the complete
PWM duty cycle instead of just the PWM pulse.
