MA800
DESCRIPTION
The MA800 is an easy-to-use, magnetic, angle encoder with a digital output designed to replace analogic potentiometers or rotary switches. The MA800 is designed for slow operation such as human-machine interface, manual controls, etc. where the rotating speed remains below 200 rpm. The sensor detects the absolute angular position of a permanent magnet attached to a rotating shaft.
The magnet shapes and configurations are very flexible. Typically, the MA800 is used with a diametrically magnetized cylinder of 2
- 8mm in diameter.
The MA800 features programmable magnetic field strength thresholds, which allow for the implementation of a push or pull button function. These are output as two logic signals.
On-chip non-volatile memory provides storage for the configuration parameters, including the reference zero angle position and magnetic field detection threshold settings.
