7.2.3 Application Specific Programming of the Break Point

The break point BP can be programmed as well with a resolution of 14 bits. This is important when the default transition point is inside the

application range. In such a case, the default transition point must be shifted out of the application range. The parameter BP defines the new

position. The function can be used also for an on-off indication.

7.2.4 Full Scale Mode

The AS5263 can be programmed as well in the full scale mode. The BP parameter defines the position of the transition.

Figure 6. Full Scale Mode

For simplification, Figure 6 describes a linear output voltage from rail to rail (0V to VDD) over the complete rotation range. In practice, this is not

feasible due to saturation effects of the output stage transistors. The actual curve will be rounded towards the supply rails (as indicated Figure 6).
