AS5040 8-bit Programmable Magnetic Rotary Encoder
AS5050 / AS5055
Programmable Magnetic Rotary Encoder
1 VDD General Description
AS5050-AB-v1.1
Adapterboard
OPERATION MANUAL
The AS5050/AS5055 is is a single-chip magnetic rotary encoder IC with low voltage and low power features.
It includes 4 integrated Hall elements, a high resolution ADC and a smart power management controller.
The angle position, alarm bits and magnetic field information are transmitted over a standard 3-wire or 4-wire SPI interface to the host processor.
2 The AS5050/AS5055 Adapter board
The absolute angle measurement provides instant indication of the magnet’s angular position with a resolution of:
AS5050: 0.35° = 1024 positions per revolution
AS5055: 0.09° = 4096 positions per revolution
The AS5055 is available in a small QFN 16-pin 4x4x0.85mm package and specified over an operating temperature of -20 to +85°C.

A diametric magnet must be placed over on under the AS5050/AS5055 encoder, and should be centered on the middle of the package with a tolerance of 0.5mm.
The airgap between the magnet and the encoder casing should be maintained in the range 0.5mm~2mm.
The magnet holder must not be ferromagnetic. Materials as brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel are the best choices to make this part.

Adapterboard Operation Manual
4 Operation use cases
4.1
One device SPI mode, unidirectional – 3 wire
The AS5050-AB can be directly connected to an industry standard SPI port of a microcontroller. The minimum connection requirement for unidirectional communication
(angle + alarm values reading) between the microcontroller and the AS5050/AS5055 are MISO, SCK,
SS/.
The angle will be read at each 16-bit SPI transfer. See
AS5050/AS5055 datasheet register table, register
3FFFh.
This value must be read with a period of 600µs or more in order to get a new angle position.
valid
AG still
4.2
One device SPI mode, bidirectional – 4 wire
ams
If other registers than only angle value have to be read, or in order to write registers into the AS5050/AS5055, the signal MOSI is necessary.
The INT/ signal can be attached o the microcontroller to indicate that a new angle position has been calculated.

4.3
Multi devices SPI Daisy chain mode
The AS5050/AS5055 can be daisy chained, using 4 wires only for SPI communication.
In this configuration with n x encoders, the sequence will be processed as follow:
- MCU sets SS/ = 0
- MCU shifts n x 16-bit (e.g. READ command FFFFh) through the chain
- MCU sets SS/=1
At that point all the n x encoders have received the
READ command FFFFh.
- MCU sets SS/=0
- MCU shifts n x 16-bit (e.g. NOP command 0000h)
- MCU sets SS/=1
At that point the n x 16-bit received on MISO are the n x angle values.
valid
chained as shown on the diagram on the left. The final
INT/ signal connected to the MCU will go LOW only if all the n x encoders INT/ = 0. The n x 16-bit angle readout can be performed here.

5 Firmware coding
The following source code fits the 4-Wire application (chapter 4.2).
The function
void spiReadData()
reads/writes 3 values from the AS5050/AS5055
- Send command READ AGC / Receive value unknown
- Send command READ Angle / Receive value AGC
- Send command NOP (no operation) / Receive value ANGLE
If a READ ANGLE only is necessary in a loop, the procedure can be reduced to one line:
- Send command READ Angle / Receive value Angle (T-1)
The function
static u8 spiCalcEvenParity(ushort value)
is optional, it calculates the parity bit of the 16-bit SPI stream.
