iC-MUE Magnetic Off-Axis Absolute Position Encoder

The iC-MBE is a compact BiSS/SSI interface master featuring an on-chip RS-422 transceiver and a 20 Mbit/s SPI suitable to implement BiSS/SSI master functionality into any device or platform. Up to eight sensors or actuators can be connected. Two physical BiSS/SSI channels enable single-ended communication via internal CMOS and TTL transceivers. Alternatively, one differential BiSS/SSI interface with on-chip RS-422 transceiver can be enabled. iC-MBE is designed for a supply voltage of 3.3 V to 5.0 V and comes in a space-saving QFN16-3x3 mm² package.

The iC-Gi22 dual-channel inductive sensor IC with sin/cos and interpolated SSI data output is used for magnetic off-axis position sensing using a simple metal target. The device enables absolute angle detection over the entire mechanical revolution by sampling two separate channels (master plus slave). The demodulated receiver signals feed the external processor, i.e. a suitable nterpolation device such as the iC-MNF, iC-TW29, iC-NQE, and an MCU with ADCs, to determine the position with higher resolution.

Features:

• Adjustable transmitter with coil driver (2-5 MHz, up to 20 mA)
• Two independent receiver channels with demodulation and line driver (1 Vdiff @ 100 Ω)
• High level output with selectable center voltage
• Adjustable coarse (x1...10) and fine gain (x1...20)
• Precision offset correction (via 11 bits up to 200 mV)
• Automatic gain control (per channel)
• Sin/cos interpolation with 8-bit resolution (1 channel)
• Angle output via SSI with error and warning
• I2C multi-master for self-configuration from external EEPROM
• I2C slave interface to the system (MCU)
• Operation monitoring with alarm masking: signal loss, I/O short circuit, RAM CRC
• Signal frequency up to 50 kHz (allows for 90000 rpm minimum)
• Power supply from 3.3 V to 5 V, approx. 15 mA
• Space-saving 32-pin QFN with 5x5 mm

The iC-RT2624 is a complete System-on-Chip for optical absolute encoders. Its powerful interpolation circuit detects the angle of a code disc with 26-bit resolution. Thanks to contamination-tolerant scanning and high mounting tolerances, the iC-RT2624 is perfectly suited for housed as well as kit-style encoders.

Features:

• 26 bits angle resolution with standard code disc (∅ 26 mm)
• Eccentricity compensation for increased accuracy
• Contamination-tolerant and robust scanning technology
• FlexCode® for arbitrary code disc sizes (≥ ∅ 20 mm)
• High alignment tolerances (± 0.5 mm in X and Y directions)
• Wide sensor-to-disc gap range (up to 0.8 mm in Z direction)
• BiSS/SSI and SPI serial interfaces for simultaneous use
• FlexCount® for programmable ABZ output resolution
• UVW commutation signals for motors of 1 to 32 pole pairs
• Safety-ready differential Sin/Cos outputs with native 1024 CPR
• Additional programmable Sin/Cos generator (2^n CPR, n = 0..15)
• Absolute data interface for multiturn sensors
• Auto-calibration triggered by pin or command
• 3.0 V to 5.5 V operation within -40 °C to 125 °C
