Introduction
The AS5170 adapter board is a small PCB allowing simple and quick testing or evaluation of the
AS5170 magnetic position sensor without the need to design and manufacture an own PCB.

Board description
The PCB can be connected to an external microcontroller or to the AS5xxx-EK-USB-PB UART
Programmer which can be used in combination with the AS5170 Software GUI provided by ams
AG.
JP1 is populated with a 1x4 female pin header it is required for the power supply (VCC and
GND) and output (OUT). This connector directly fits to the UART Programmer.
All necessary external components C1 (VDD3V3-GND) and C2 (VDD-GND) are already
populated to the PCB.

A 8x2.5mm diametric magnet must be placed over or under the AS5170 sensor, and should be
centered in the middle of the package with a tolerance of 0.5mm. The airgap between the
magnet surface and the package should be maintained in the range 0.5mm to 3mm. The magnet
holder must not be ferromagnetic. Materials as brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel a re the
best choices to make this part.
