Austriamicrosystems AG, Unterpremstaetten, Austria, offers the AS5243 redundant magnetic rotary encoder IC for high-performance automotive applications. The SoC, contactless magnetic angle position sensor provides measurement up to 360° with the ability to detect 1024 absolute positions over a full turn, 180°, and 90° and includes two AS5143 devices in a punched, stacked lead frame. The device combines integrated Hall elements, an analog front end, and digital signal processing and provides 2 separate programmable analog outputs (including user-programmable angular range, adjustable output voltage range, voltage or current output), CHIP-ID for traceability, programmable zero position, and diagnostic modes. An internal voltage regulator allows operation from 3.3 V or 5.0 V supplies. (In the U.S.: 919-676-5292, fax 509-696-2713, [email protected])
