Datasheet - I²C Registers

8.13 Hall Element Direct Read Registers (2Ah)

The AGC register controls the sensitivity of each hall element C1..C5, in order to stay in the larger dynamic range of the 12-bit ADC of the

AS5013. In order to determine the best value to be set during the AS5013 initialization, place your magnet on the 0,0 position (centered on C5

hall element), and increase the AGC value to obtain the nearest value to 2867 (= 70% of 4096).

It is possible that this value cannot be reached with small magnets or with large airgaps. In that case set AGC to 3Fh, which is the maximum

sensitivity.

8.14 Power ON

The AS5013 has a Power ON Reset (POR) cell to monitor the VDD voltage at startup and reset all the internal registers.

After the internal reset is completed, the POR cell is disabled in order to save current during normal operation.

If VDD drops below 2.7V down to 0.2V, the POR cell will not be enabled back, and the registers will not be correctly reseted or can get random

values.

Note:

It is highly recommended to control the external RESETn signal by applying a LOW pulse of >100ns once VDD reached 2.7V and

VDDp reached 1.7V.
