As an encoder, a stepper motor has nothing absolute. There is no stop, no indicator of position, you have to count steps and direction to give a sense of anything. As a motor, it works tge same way.

The AS5048 14-bit magnetic encoder IC has been developed by austriamicrosystems to achieve accurate angle measurements in microcontroller-based applications.

The AM4096 consists of a simple magnet and IC, providing an ultra-compact, wear-free design capable of withstanding temperatures from ?40°C to +125°C. All sensor and processing electronics are ...

On-axis sensing, in Melexis’ definition, is where the IC can be placed in-line with the axis of rotation. It defines three versions of on-axis sensing depending on the orientation of the IC (diagram ...

Austriamicrosystems (AMS), a company that manufactures analog integrated circuits (ICs) for automotive, communication, industry and medical applications, expanded its magnetic rotary encoder ...

austriamicrosystems introduces the AS5046, a new 12-bit resolution magnetic rotary encoder offering rotation, tilt and vertical distance detection of a magnet placed above the IC. The device can ...
