Analog Output

An analog output may be generated by averaging the

PWM signal, using an external active or passive lowpass

filter. The analog output voltage is proportional to the

angle: 0°= 0V; 360° = VDD5V.

Using this method, the AS5040 can be used as direct

replacement of potentiometers.

≥ 1µF / 6V

R1 should be

≥4k7 to avoid loading of the PWM output.

Larger values of Rx and Cx will provide better filtering

and less ripple, but will also slow down the response

time.

Brushless DC Motor Commutation

Mode

Brushless DC motors require angular information for

stator commutation. The AS5040 provides U-V-W

commutation signals for one and two pole pair motors. In

addition to the three-phase output signals, the step (LSB)

output

allows

measurement. Two resolutions (9 or 10 bit) can be

selected by programming Div0 according to Table 6.

Mode 3.0 (3.1) is used for brush-less DC motors with

one-pole pair rotors. The three phases (U, V, W) are 120

degrees apart, each phase is 180 degrees on and 180

degrees off.

Mode 3.2 (3.3) is used for motors with two pole pairs

requiring a higher pulse count to ensure a proper current

commutation. In this case the pulse width is 256 positions,

equal to 90 degrees.

The precise physical angle at which the U, V and W signals

change state (“Angle” in Figure 11 and Figure 12) is

calculated by multiplying each transition position by the

angular value of 1 count:

Angle [deg] = Position x (360 degree / 1024)
