AS5040 − Incremental Outputs
Incremental Power-Up Lock Option
After power-up, the incremental outputs can optionally be
locked or unlocked, depending on the status of the CSn pin:
CSn = low at power-up:
CSn has an internal pull-up resistor and must be externally
pulled low (Rext ≤ 5kΩ). If Csn is low at power-up, the
incremental outputs (A, B, Index) will be high until the
internal offset compensation is finished.
This unique state (A=B=Index = high) may be used as an
indicator for the external controller to shorten the waiting
time at power-up. Instead of waiting for the specified
maximum power up-time (0), the controller can start
requesting data from the AS5040 as soon as the state
(A=B=Index = high) is cleared.
CSn = high or open at power-up:
In this mode, the incremental outputs (A, B, Index) will
remain at logic high state, until CSn goes low or a low pulse
is applied at CSn. This mode allows intentional disabling
of the incremental outputs until for example the system
microcontroller is ready to receive data.
