PART NUMBER: AMT303
The AMT 303 is a commutation
encoder with additional incremental
channels A, B, and Z. The encoder
output utilizes standard U,V,W
commutation signals with additional
quadrature A,B and Index signals
provided for speed control or
positioning operations. A SPI serial
bus allows for commutation settings
to be easily adjusted via a demo
board, or preconfigured and stored
for large production assembly for
various motor configurations.

COMMUTATION ENCODER
APPLICATION NOTES
Encoder operational mode
•
Initialization mode:
At power up the encoder goes through an initiation and stabilization procedure.
This includes microprocessor stabilization and the program for combining Coarse
and Fine channel of the encoder for getting the absolute start position. This takes
less than 0.1 seconds.
•
Tracking mode:
– MCU 12 bit position register is updated from Fine Asic every 48
μs.
– The commutation program in the MCU has a compensation for the average delay caused by the
update rate, leaving a remaining jitter of less than 24
μs
RMS.
•The communication jitter expressed in electrical degrees will be proportional speed and
does not reach 6 deg RMS until the speed reaches the following values:

Serial Peripheral Interface Commands
The SPI or Serial Peripheral Interface Bus is a standard interface promoted by Motorola and Microchip among
others. It consists of 4 signals:
MOSI: Master Out Slave In
MISO: Master In Slave Out
SCK: Serial Clock
CSB: Chip Select Bar (active low)
SPI BUS
The SPI bus runs full duplex and transfers multiples of 8 bits in a frame. The SPI type is the most common
(CPOL=0, CPHA=0), also known as Microwire. Data is captured on the rising edge of SCK and the output data is
changed after the falling edge of SCK.
