The absolute position is reported through a serial-peripheral interface (SPI). The ADMT4000 counts up to 46 turns of an external magnetic field, incrementing the absolute position in the clockwise (CW) direction.
The device includes three magnetic sensors, a giant magneto resistance (GMR) turn count sensor, which is used to count the number of rotations on the system, a GMR quadrant detecting sensor, and an anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) angle sensor. The AMR angle sensor is used in combination with a GMR quadrant detecting sensor to determine the absolute position of the system within 360°. Combining the GMR turn count sensor output with the AMR angle sensor output enables the device to report the position of the system with a high degree of angular accuracy.
