Benefits
Complete system-on-chip
High reliability due to non-contact sensing
Suitable for the use in harsh environments
Robust against external magnetic stray fields
The AS5304/AS5306 are single-chip IC’s with integrated
Hall elements for measuring linear or rotary motion using
multi-pole magnetic strips or rings.
This allows the usage of the AS5304/AS5306 in
applications where the Sensor IC cannot be mounted at the
end of a rotating device (e.g. at hollow shafts). Instead, the
AS5304/AS5306 are mounted off-axis underneath a multi-
pole magnetized ring or strip and provides a quadrature
incremental output with 40 pulses per pole period at
speeds of up to 20 meters/sec (AS5304) or 12 meters/sec
(AS5306).
A single index pulse is generated once for every pole pair
at the Index output.
Using, for example, a 32pole-pair magnetic ring, the
AS5304/AS5306 can provide a resolution of 1280
pulses/rev, which is equivalent to 5120 positions/rev or
12.3bit. The maximum speed at this configuration is 9375
rpm.
The pole pair length is 4mm (2mm north pole / 2mm south
pole) for the AS5304, and 2.4mm (1.2mm north pole /
1.2mm south pole) for the AS5306. The chip accepts a
magnetic field strength down to 5mT (peak).
Both chips are available with
push-pull outputs
(AS530xA)
or with
open drain outputs (AS530xB).
The AS5304/AS5306 are available in a small 20-pin
TSSOP package and specified for an operating ambient
temperature of -40° to +125°C.

Functional Description
The AS5304/AS5306 require a multi-pole magnetic strip or ring with a pole length of 2mm (4mm pole pair length) on the
AS5304, and a pole length of 1.2mm (2.4mm pole pair length) on the AS5306. The magnetic field strength of the multi-pole
magnet should be in the range of 5 to 60mT at the chip surface.
The Hall elements on the AS5304/AS5306 are arranged in a linear array.
By moving the multi-pole magnet over the Hall array, a sinusoidal signal (SIN) is generated internally. With proper configuration
of the Hall elements, a second 90° phase shifted sinusoidal signal (COS) is obtained. Using an interpolation circuit, the length
of a pole pair is divided into 160 positions and further decoded into 40 quadrature pulses.
An Automatic Gain Control provides a large dynamic input range of the magnetic field.
An Analog output pin (AO) provides an analog voltage that changes with the strength of the magnetic field (see chapter 8).

100nF decoupling capacitor close to the device is recommended.

Incremental Quadrature AB Output

The digital output is compatible to optical incremental
encoder outputs. Direction of rotation is encoded into
two signals A and B that are phase-shifted by 90º.
Depending on the direction of rotation, A leads B
(CW) or B leads A (CCW).

A single index pulse is generated once for every pole
pair. One pole pair is interpolated to 40 quadrature
pulses (160 steps), so one index pulse is generated
after every 40 quadrature pulses (see Figure 6)
The Index output is switched to Index = high, when a
magnet is placed over the Hall array as shown in
Figure 7, top graph: the north pole of the magnet is
placed over the left side of the IC (top view, pin#1 at
bottom left) and the south pole is placed over the
right side of the IC.
The index output will switch back to Index = low,
when the magnet is moved by one LSB from position
X=0 to X=X1, as shown in Figure 7, bottom graph.
One LSB is 25µm for AS5304 and 15µm for AS5306.
Note: Since the small step size of 1 LSB is hardly
recognizable in a correctly scaled graph it is shown as an
exaggerated step in the bottom graph of Figure 7.

Magnetic Field Warning Indicator
The AS5304 can also provide a low magnetic field warning to indicate a missing magnet or when the end of the magnetic strip
has been reached. This condition is indicated by using a combination of A, B and Index, that does not occur in normal
operation:
A low magnetic field is indicated with:
Index = high
A=B=low
7.1.3
Vertical Distance between Magnet and IC
The recommended vertical distance between magnet and IC depends on the strength of the magnet and the length of the
magnetic pole.
Typically, the vertical distance between magnet and chip surface should not exceed ½ of the pole length.
That means for AS5304, having a pole length of 2.0mm, the maximum vertical gap should be 1.0mm,
For the AS5306, having a pole length of 1.2mm, the maximum vertical gap should be 0.6mm
These figures refer to the chip surface. Given a typical distance of 0.2mm between chip surface and IC package surface,
the recommended vertical distances between
magnet and IC surface
are therefore:
AS 5304:
≤
0.8mm
AS 5306:
≤
0.4mm
