AS5600-ASOT

AMS · Position Sensor · SOIC-8

AS5600-ASOT from AMS, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD5V power_in Positive voltage supply in 5V mode (4.5-5.5V). Requires a 100nF decoupling capacitor. Feeds the internal 3.3V LDO which provides VDD3V3.
2 VDD3V3 power_in Positive voltage supply in 3.3V mode (3.0-3.6V). In 5V mode this pin is the LDO output and requires an external 1µF decoupling capacitor.
3 OUT output Analog/PWM output. Provides ratiometric analog voltage (12-bit DAC) or PWM-encoded digital angle output. Max output capacitive load 1nF.
4 GND power_in Ground reference (0V) for supply and signal returns.
5 PGO input Program option digital input with internal pull-up. Tying to GND selects Programming Option B; leaving floating selects the default programming option.
6 SDA bidirectional I²C data line (open-drain). Requires an external pull-up resistor. V_IH ≥ 0.7×VDD, V_IL ≤ 0.3×VDD.
7 SCL input I²C clock input. Requires an external pull-up resistor. V_IH ≥ 0.7×VDD, V_IL ≤ 0.3×VDD.
8 DIR input Direction polarity input. Tie to GND for output values increasing clockwise, tie to VDD for increasing counterclockwise. Must not be left floating.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
as5600-asot.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
as5600-asot-etched.step 2.4 MB You want the part with AS5600-ASOT already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 578 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: AMS datasheet (43 pp, sha256 7a676482eb5730bb, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
