AS5x47U Motor Board
Motor Board User Manual
AS5047U / AS5147U
Introduction
The AS5x47U motor board is a simple PCB that is designed to adapt to standard size BLDC or stepper motors. It allows easy and quick evaluation of the AS5x47 magnetic position sensor family. The sensor and all necessary external components are already soldered to the PCB.

Description
The PCB can either be connected to an external microcontroller or to the USB I&P Box which is available on our webpage. (USB I&P Box) P1 has to be populated with a 2×8 pin header and is required for power supply as well as SPI, ABI, UVW/PWM interfaces. The resistor R1 allows selecting between 5V or 3.3V operation. When R1 is shorted only 3.3V operation is possible. Furthermore, the test pins on the bottom of the PCB give easy access to incremental outputs (ABI and UVW) for probing and measuring with an oscilloscope.

RoHS Compliant & ams Green Statement
RoHS Compliant: The term RoHS compliant means that as AG products fully comply with current RoHS directives. Our semiconductor products do not contain any chemicals for all 6 substance categories plus additional 4 substance categories (per amendment EU 2015/863), including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, RoHS compliant products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. AMS Green (RoHS compliant and no Sb/Br/Cl): ams Green defines that in addition to RoHS compliance, our products are free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material) and do not contain Chlorine (Cl does not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material).
