Highest-Resolution Hall-Effect Magnetic Encoder For Industrial Applications: AEAT-6600-T16

The Avago AEAT-6600-T16 magnetic encoder offers up to 16-bit resolution for precise angle measurement over a full rotation of 360 degrees. The use of magnetic technology for motion control and sensing activities enables non-contact operation free from mechanical wear and tear. The encoder is a system-on-chip combining integrated Hall elements, analog front end and digital signal processing in a single device. Along with this high level ofintegration, the encoder features built-in programmability to allow customized encoder settings, providing significant savings for customers' encoder inventory.

"The Avago AEAT-6600-T16 encoder delivers leading precision for motion control systems with highly durable magnetic technology in a small form factor, building on our industry leadership in high-resolution magnetic reflective encoders," said Hassan Hussain, general manager of the Motion Control Products Division at Avago. "The device expands the reach of our complete optical and magnetic encoder portfolio, addressing applications operating in severe industrial conditions."

The AEAT-6600-T16 device offers simple one-step alignment with no calibration required, avoiding handling-related issues during setup and reducing assembly time and costs. The encoder delivers accurate performanceover a large axial gap and radial displacement, reducing concerns related to assembly tolerance errors during the manufacturing process. The device offers serial output, reducing the number of wires required. The encoder is available in a small 16-pin TSSOP package and features low supply voltage, making it ideal for portable, battery-operated applications.
