12-BIT LINEAR / ROTARY POSITION HALL ENCODER
DESCRIPTION
The iC-MHL200 is a magnetic position sensor with
integrated Hall sensors for the scanning of magnetic
tapes and pole wheels featuring a pole pitch of 2 mm.
Moving speeds of up to 8 m/s can be followed even
at highest resolution representing 0.98 µm.
The signal conditioning unit generates constant-
amplitude sine and cosine voltages that are used
for real-time tracking sine-to-digital angle conversion.
The resolution can be programmed up to a maximum
of 4,096 increments within one magnetic period of
4 mm.
The integrated serial interface enables daisy-chain
operation of multiple devices with a synchronous po-
sition capture at all networked sensors. The device’s
memory can also be accessed via the bidirectional
BiSS C protocol without interfering the readout cy-
cles.
The incremental interface with the pins A, B and Z
supplies encoder quadrature signals at an edge rate
of up to 8 MHz. Complementary incremental signals
are available at the U, V, W outputs. The index po-
sition at the Z output is adjustable and can be gated
via enable input ENZ.
A/B/Z and U/V/W form RS422-compatible outputs
and are programmable regarding the output’s drive
current and slew rate.
A gain-dependent analog signal is available at the
GAIN output, which can be used to monitor mechan-
ical alignment of the sensor with respect to the mag-
netic target.
All device parameters can be stored in the inter-
nal non-volatile Zener-zapping ROM to allow self-
configuration after power on. The required writing
algorithm for programming is executed by the IC it-
self.
Together with the appropriate magnetic scale or pole
wheel, the iC-MHL200 provides a single-chip solution
for linear and rotary encoders.
