General Description
The AS5162 is a contactless magnetic angle position sensor for accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360°. A sub range can be programmed to achieve the best resolution for the application. It is a system-on-chip, combining integrated Hall elements, analog front end, digital signal processing and best in class automotive protection features in a single device.

KEY FEATUREs
■ 360º contactless high resolution angular position sensing
■ User programmable start and end point of the application region
   + linearization.
■ User programmable clamping levels and programming of the
   transition point.
■ Powerful analog output
   - Short circuit monitor
   - High driving capability for resistive and capacitive loads
■ Wide temperature range: - 40°C to + 150°C
■ Small Pb-free package: SOIC 8.
■ Broken GND and VDD detection over a wide range of different
   load conditions.
■ Saw tooth mode 1,2,3,4 slopes per revolution

Benefits
■ Unique fully differential patented solution
