AS5600 Magnetic Encoder

AS5600 Magnetic Encoder – Magnetic Induction Angle Measurement Sensor Module, 12-bit High Precision, Magnet Included.

AS5600 12-bit High-Precision Magnetic Encoder Module

Basic Information

Product Name: AS5600 Magnetic Induction Angle Sensor / Magnetic Encoder

Core Chip: ams OSRAM AS5600

Operating Principle: Uses non-contact Hall-effect sensing to detect the magnetic field direction of a diametrically magnetized bipolar magnet positioned directly above the sensor, converting it into a high-precision angular value.

Product Features:

Long Service Life & High Reliability: Non-contact measurement eliminates brush wear and prevents accuracy drift caused by mechanical aging.

Multiple Output Interfaces: Supports I²C digital output, hardware PWM output, and analog linear voltage (DAC) output.

High Resolution: 12-bit resolution, dividing one full rotation (360°) into 4,096 steps, with an angular resolution of up to 0.087°.

Flexible Measurement Range: The default range is 0–360°. The starting point (Zero Position) and ending point (Stop Position) can be programmed via I²C, allowing the full resolution to be mapped to a minimum travel range of 18°.

Low-Power Control: Built-in intelligent low-power mode automatically reduces operating current when there is no rotation or under specific operating conditions.

Technical Specifications

Pin Definition & Wiring

1. Pin Definition

Common AS5600 breakout modules typically have the following pins:

VCC: Power input (3.3V / 5V)

GND: Ground

OUT: Multifunction output pin. By default, it outputs an analog voltage; it can also be configured for PWM output through the registers.

DIR: Rotation direction control pin.

Connected to GND: Angle value increases when rotating clockwise (CW).

Connected to VCC: Angle value increases when rotating counterclockwise (CCW).

SCL: I²C clock line

SDA: I²C data line

PGO (on some modules): Programming input pin, used for three-wire programming without I²C.
