Introduction
The AS5048 adapter board is a small PCB allowing simple and quick testing or evaluation of the
AS5048 magnetic position sensor without the need to build a test fixture or design an own PCB.

Board Description
The PCB can either be connected to an external microcontroller or to the Universal Connector
Board (AS5xxx-UCB) in combination with a NI USB-8451 box and a provided LabVIEW software.
P1 has to be populated with a 1x8 pin header and is required for power supply as well as SPI/I2C
and PWM interfaces.
The PCB is available in two versions. Either populated with an AS5048A with SPI or AS5048B with
I2C interface.

A 6x2.5mm diametric magnet must be placed over or under the AS5048 sensor, and should be
centered on the middle of the package with a tolerance of 0.5mm. The airgap between the
magnet surface and the package should be maintained in the range 0.5mm to 3mm. The magnet
holder must not be ferromagnetic. Materials as brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel are the
best choices to make this part.
