MA780

The MA780 is a low-power angle sensor that detects the absolute angular position of a permanent magnet, such as a diametrically magnetized cylinder on a rotating shaft.

With its power-cycling ability, this sensor is suitable for applications requiring low average power. The timing can be controlled via an on-chip clock or external controller. Flags are available for detecting a definable amount of angle change.

The MA780 supports a wide range of magnetic field strengths and spatial configurations. Both end-of-shaft and off-axis (side-shaft mounting) configurations are supported.

On-chip, non-volatile memory (NVM) provides storage for configuration parameters, including the reference zero-angle position, power-cycling parameters, and the filter window affecting the output resolution.

The MA780 is available in a QFN-16 (3mmx3mm) package.
