8.4 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Output

The AS5045B provides a pulse width modulated output (PWM), whose duty cycle is proportional to the measured angle. For angle position 0 to

4094

Position =

(EQ 1)

Examples:

1. An angle position of 180° will generate a pulse width ton = 2049µs and a pause toff of 2049 µs resulting in Position = 2048 after the cal-

culation: 2049 * 4098 / (2049 + 2049) -1 = 2048

2. An angle position of 359.8° will generate a pulse width ton = 4095µs and a pause toff of 3 µs resulting in Position = 4094 after the cal-

culation: 4095 * 4098 / (4095 + 3) -1 = 4094

Exception:

1. An angle position of 359.9° will generate a pulse width ton = 4097µs and a pause toff of 1 µs resulting in Position = 4096 after the cal-

culation: 4097 * 4098 / (4097 + 1) -1 = 4096

The PWM frequency is internally trimmed to an accuracy of ±5% (±10% over full temperature range). This tolerance can be cancelled by

measuring the complete duty cycle as shown above.
