3. AS5x62 Programming
1) Connect AS5x61/AS5x62 to UART Interface board or to communication equipment.
Use VCC, GND and OUT for the communication. If the ams UART Interface board is
used, please connect an external 5V Powersupply to the board.
2) Start AS5x61/AS5x62 Evaluation Software

3) Choose the right device AS5162(singleDIE) or AS5262(dualDIE)
4) Click
5) Enter beginning angle, T1. Two methods are possible:
a. Manually enter an initial position value into “T1 Cordic” field or “T1 (°),or
b. Move magnet assembly to initial position and click “Get”. This will take the value
related to the magnet current physical location as the Cordic register initial position.
6) Enter final angle, T2. Two methods are possible, except that this position is the final
position of the magnet’s rotation.
a. Manually enter a final position value into “T2 Cordic” field or “T2 (°)”, or
b. Move magnet assembly to final position and click “Get”. This will take the value
related to the magnet current physical location as the Cordic register initial position.
7)
8) Enter This is V
OUT
at the initial magnet position.
9) Enter This is V
OUT
at the final magnet position.
10) Enter Clamping Level Low is the voltage at the lower guard band.
11) Enter Clamping Level High is the voltage at the upper guard band.

12) Choose the desired quadrant mode there are a possibility to programm up
to 4 quadrants @ 1 revolution.
There are some limits for this programming: 4 Quadrants: max. 90° for each Quadrant
3 Quadrants: max 120° for each Quadrant
2 Quadrants: max 180° for each Quadrant
1 Quadrant: full 360°
13) Choose the Breakpoint setting: a) Opt is the optimal Breakpoint, calculated by the DLL.
b) BP : set the BP in the BPW field
c) BP_T1: BP setting related to T1 position. Set value into
BPWT1D field
d) BP_T2: BP setting related to T2 position. Set value into
BPWT2D field
14) Additional Settings: HystLevel: Only used with 1Q 0 360° to move the BP.
Direction: Set the right direction for the Application, CCW or CW.
15) Click This will calculate the real values (scale factor, Breakpoint…). All this
information, in addition to voltages and angles, is needed to program the AS5x62.
