If the magnet is too far away from the encoder, “Magnet Err” will be displayed.

Vout LED
The Vout LED is connected to the output of the AS5263. The output is analog and proportional to the angle of the
magnet.
Viewing the output signal on the LED results in brightness, that is proportional to the angle of the magnet. When the
angle of the magnet is at the start point, the LED is almost dark. Turning the knob towards higher angle values,
increases the brightness of the LED.
2.4
Kick LED
He kick down is not activated in this version of demoboard, hence the Kick LED is always ON.
2.5
Encoder selection switch
The switch S2 selects the encoder which communicates with the microcontroller.

Left Position:
External AS5263 connected on P1
The signals of the interface (OUT) and the power supply (5V, GND) of an external device can be
connected directly to P1. In this configuration, this data is displayed on the LCD.
An AS5263 can be attached to P1 and evaluated (see Figure 5). The picture shows only the connection for the bottom
die. For using the top die, please connect the open pins of the external device accordingly.
