Description
The Broadcom®AEAT-9922 is an angular magnetic rotary
sensor that provides accurate angular measurement over a
full 360 degrees of rotation.
A sophisticated system uses integrated Hall sensor
elements with complex analog and digital signal processing
within a single device.Asimple two-pole magnet generates
thenecessarymagneticfieldbyrotatingitinaperpendicular
direction. Wide magnetic field sensor configurations allow
On Axis (end of shaft) or Off Axis (side of shaft) modes in
application. The AEAT-9922 is a versatile solution capable
of supporting a broad range of applications with its robust
architecture to measure and deliver both absolute and
incremental signals.
The absolute angle measurement provides an instant
indication of the magnet’s angular position with a selectable
and one-time programmable resolution from 10 to 18 bits.
Whenselected,itspositioningdatais thenrepresented inits
digital form to be assessed through a standard SSI (parity)
and SPI (with CRC and Parity option) communication
protocol. Where desired, users may also choose to receive
its absolute angle position in PWM-encoded output signals
(with CRC). The incremental positions are indicated onABI
and UVW signals with wide user configurable resolution
from 1 CPR and up to 10,000 CPR of ABI signals and pole
pairs from 1- to 32-pole pairs (2 to 64 poles) for UVW
commutation signals.
For ease of setup, Broadcom has made available
development tools to perform the calibration process
without other measurement equipment. These
programming kits and evaluation boards are available
through the normal Broadcom sales channels.

Calibration Process
When the encoder is assembled (SMT) to PCB, mount to the motor system with the magnet setup per the data sheet.
Encoder configuration can be loaded before or after calibration.
Perform auto-calibration followed by zero reset.
Auto-Calibration
1. Rotate the magnet at a constant-speed (any direction).
a. Constant speed range is between 50 RPM to 2000 RPM.
2. When the speed stabilizes, initiate the calibration sequence by using the following items:
a. Software
i. SPI commands using the PC software interface.
ii. Calibration status is displayed when complete.
b. Hardware
i. Send High pulse > 50 ms to I/O pin M1.
ii. Calibration status is displayed on the ABI pin.
3. Calibration data is automatically saved in memory at the end of the sequence.
Zero Reset Calibration
1. Stop the magnet at the reset position.
2. Initiate the reset calibration sequence by using the following items:
a. Software
i. SPI commands using the PC software interface.
ii. Calibration status is displayed when complete.
b. Hardware
i. Send High pulse > 50 ms to I/O pin M2.
ii. Calibration status is displayed on the ABI pin.
3. Calibration data is automatically saved in memory at the end of the sequence.
