Magnetic Rotary 6 Click Board™

Product Code: MIKROE-5585

How Does The Magnetic Rotary 6 Click Board™ Work? The Magnetic Rotary 6 Click Board™ is based on the AS5247U, a high-resolution dual rotary position sensor for fast absolute angle measurement over a full 360-degree range from ams AG. The core of the AS5247U represents a CMOS technology Hall-effect magnetic sensor that converts the magnetic field component perpendicular to the surface of the chip into a digital value. It supports high-speed applications up to 28krpm and allows a host MCU to read 14-bit absolute angle position data and to program non-volatile settings without a dedicated programmer. The AS5247U is also equipped with a Dynamic Angle Error Compensation block that corrects the calculated angle regarding latency by using a linear prediction calculation algorithm. The AS5247U communicates with MCU using a standard SPI interface. The signals from its internal Hall sensors are amplified and filtered before their conversion by the ADC and then processed by the CORDIC block to compute the angle and magnitude of the magnetic field vector.

The intensity of the magnetic field is used by the automatic gain control (AGC) to adjust the amplification level to compensate for temperature and magnetic field variations. This Click board™ also comes with onboard headers reserved for incremental and commutation signals of their respective A/B/I and U/V/W signals alongside embedded self-diagnostics. Incremental movements are indicated on a set of ABI signals with a maximum resolution of 16384 steps / 4096 pulses per revolution. The resolution of the ABI signal is programmable for 10 to 14 bits. Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are also controllable through a standard UVW commutation interface with a programmable number of pole pairs from 1 to 7. At constant rotation speed, the latency time is internally compensated by the AS5247U, reducing the dynamic angle error at the SPI, ABI, and UVW outputs. The AS5047D also allows selection between a UVW output interface and a PWM-encoded interface on the W pin, which can be seen as an absolute angle position. A unique addition to this board is a position for a rotary magnet holder designed to be used alongside a magnetic rotary position sensor allowing fast prototyping and quick measurements during development. Thie Magnetic Rotary 6 Click Board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. All jumpers must be on the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
