1General Overview
The AS5115 is a contactless rotary enco er sensor for
accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360º
an over an exten e ambient temperature range of -
40ºC…+150ºC.
Base on an integrate Hall element array, the angular
position of a simple two-pole magnet is translate into
analog output voltages. The angle information is provi e
by means of buffere sine an cosine voltages. This
approach gives maximum flexibility in system esign, as
it can be irectly integrate into existing architectures an
optimize for various applications in terms of spee an
accuracy.
An SSI Interface is implemente for signal path
configurations, as well as a one time programmable
register block (OTP), which allows the customer to a just
the signal path gain for ifferent mechanical constraints
an magnetic fiel s.
2The AS5115 Demoboard
The AS5115 emoboar is a complete rotary enco er system with built-in microcontroller, USB interface, an graphical
LCD isplay. The boar is USB powere or externally supplie with a 9V battery for stan alone operation.
Figure 1: AS5115 Demoboard hardware with mounted mag net knob
Demoboar v1.1 has a itional pull-up resistors at the communication lines. The emoboar v1.2 has a new controller
(C8051F342) implemente an supports up ating of the firmware via bootloa er (please refer to AN5000-
60_FirmwareUpgra e).
3Operating the AS5115 Demoboard
The AS5115 emoboar can be use in several ways:
•A tandalone unit upplied by a 9V battery
Connect a 9V battery to the battery connector on the top right si e of the boar . No other connections are
require .

•A tandalone unit upplied by an USB port
Connect the emoboar to a PC using a USB/USB cable (inclu e in emoboar shipment). The boar is
supplie by the 5V supply of the USB port. No other connections are require .
•A input device for the AS5000 Programmer GUI oftware
This configuration uses the same USB har ware connection as mentione above, but a itionally the AS5000
Programmer GUI software is running. The LCD isplay will be turne off an the Angle/Sine/Cosine value will
be isplaye on the PC screen.
3.1 Hardware Indicator
3.1.1 Graphic LCD di play
The LCD isplay shows the real-time absolute angle position of the magnet as a igital wor (0…360), as well as the
current sine an cosine value of the output voltage.
Turning the knob clockwise will increase the angle value until 359, then 0.
Figure 2: LCD di play in tandalone mode (9V battery or USB powered without GUI)
3.1.2 EXT LED
The EXT LED in icates whether the internal (on boar ) AS5115 or an external evice is use an which values are
shown on the isplay. By switching S2 to the left si e the LED is turne on an one can use an external AS5115 by
connecting it at P1.
The hea er P1 is pin compatible with the AS5115-AB.
4AS5000 Programmer GUI oftware
4.1 In talling the GUI on the PC
The preliminary software is evelope for a Microsoft Win ows XP operating system with Service Pack 2. In a ition
the otnet (.NET) framework version 2.0 or more must be installe on the PC. This package can be ownloa e free of
charge from the Microsoft webpage:
http://www.microsoft.com/ ownloa s/ etails.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0 -8e -aab15c5e04f5& isplaylang=en
Following Proce ure is recommen e before starting the GUI:
1. check on your PC if Service Pack 2 is installe
2. install the mentione .NET package to your computer
3. execute setup.exe
4. Finally start the GUI using the shortcut in the start menu or esktop.
4.2 The Home tab
Figure 3 shows the main win ow of the GUI. On the top left corner, boar information as firmware (FW) version an
emoboar name eclaration can be foun .
By efault the GUI is in the auto etection mo e. Any connecte austriamicrosystems emoboar an programming tool will
be automatically etecte an isplaye in the right top corner. The GUI is ivi e into three main sections HOME, TWI an
OTP.
By selecting the TWI (AS5115 bi irectional serial protocol) tab, the information of the angular position appears. See figure 4.

The Digital interface win ow allows accessing the internal registers of the AS5115:
The parameters on’t nee to be checke manually in the “Bits” win ow on the right, but can be set by the “Fiel s” an
“Options for the selecte bits” values. The correspon ing bits will be checke automatically.
To vali ate the comman , the Execute Write button bust be clicke .

4.5 OTP tab
The OTP tab is normally use for the AS5000 programmer, but the OTP bits can be change on the AS5115 emoboar as
well.
Options like gain an Hall bias can be change by selecting the function in “Fields”, then changing the parameter in “Options
for the selected field” or irectly the ecimal value of this parameter in “Value”.
Each time a fiel ’s value has been change , the correspon ing OTP bits will be automatically checke in the right win ow.
The button Write shoul be clicke to write the parameter into the AS5115.
The Rea button rea s back the OTP register, an up ates the “Fiel ” parameter as well as the OTP bits win ow.
