austriamicrosystems Introduces Low Cost 8-bit Incremental Magnetic Rotary Encoder IC.UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria -- austriamicrosystems announces the introduction of the AS5035, an 8-bit incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged. Incremental cost is additional or increased cost of an item or service apart from its actual cost. magnetic rotary encoder A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device used to convert the angular position of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital code, making it a sort of transducer. for cost-sensitive industrial and automotive applications. The device is particularly well suited for use in human-machine interface (HMI (Human Machine Interface) The user interface in a manufacturing or process control system. It provides a graphics-based visualization of an industrial control and monitoring system. ) applications, such as front panel switches, or as an alternative to optical encoder-based applications where dust or other particles could severely diminish the reliability and accuracy of the system operation. The AS5035 provides incremental quadrature quadrature, in astronomy, arrangement of two celestial bodies at right angles to each other as viewed from a reference point. If the reference point is the earth and the sun is one of the bodies, a planet is in quadrature when its elongation is 90°. A/B A/B Airborne A/B Afterburner (jet engines) A/B Air Blast A/B Answerback A/B Auto-brake A/B Air Bus A/B Afterburning output signals and an index output signal. The index signal represents a mechanical reference point, called the zero position, which can be programmed by the user at the system assembly stage. Operation safety is ensured by continuous monitoring of the magnet presence and the optimal magnet position in the system. "The AS5035 is an ideal encoder solution for cost-sensitive applications which have up until now been using optical encoder solutions. Especially in harsh environments, magnetic encoders provide significant advantages over optical encoders, such as during operation in dusty environments or at high temperatures," said Ralf Kodritsch, marketing manager for Sensors & Automation at austriamicrosystems. "Another product feature, which our customers highly value in our magnetic encoder products is the ability to program the zero position at the system assembly stage. For example, the user can simply adjust each individual knob reference position in a front panel application at a final manufacturing step." The AS5035 provides 64 pulses per revolution on each of the two quadrature output channels, which equals a resolution of 2.8 degrees per step over a full turn of 360 degrees. Operation safety is ensured by a failure detection feature, which monitors the magnet's placement during the operation. In case of a missing or loose magnet, the device instantly provides a warning signal. The IC operates at rotational speeds up to 10,000 revolutions per minute, without missing any incremental pulses. The zero position can be programmed by the user. The AS5035 operates at either 3.3 V or 5 V. The operating temperature ranges from -40 Degrees Celsius to +125 Degrees Celsius. The AS5035 is available in a lead-free SSOP SSOP Shrink Small Outline Package SSOP Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (USDA) SSOP Sanitary Standard Operating Procedures SSOP Sharescan-Open Platform (Ecopy) SSOP Site Security Operational Procedures 16 (5.3mm x 6.2mm) package. AS5035 will be available for sampling in May.
