MagnTek MT6835 Magnetic Encoder Module 21BIT PWM/SPI/ABZ/UVW Output with Magnet - AS5048 Replacement

The MT6835 provides four primary output modes: a digital SPI interface for reading the full 21-bit absolute angle, a 12-bit PWM output representing the angle, a configurable incremental ABZ quadrature output (1-10,000 PPR), and a UVW output for brushless motor commutation with programmable pole pairs (1-16). This multi-interface design allows integration with a wide range of controllers and motor drivers.

The module operates from 3.3V to 5.0V DC, making it directly compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems, including most Arduino boards (e.g., Uno, Mega), Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and STM32 microcontrollers. Ensure your system's logic voltage matches the VDD supply provided to the module for reliable communication.

The ABZ incremental output resolution is user-programmable via the SPI interface. You can set the PPR value anywhere from 1 to 10,000 pulses per revolution by writing to the device's configuration registers using the provided SPI commands, allowing you to match the encoder's output to the specific requirements of your motor controller or counter.

Yes, the MT6835 is designed as a functional upgrade and direct replacement for AS5048-series encoders, particularly the AS5048-AB 10000 model. It offers higher 21-bit resolution, supports the same SPI and PWM interfaces, and includes a compatible magnet. You may need to adjust software for the different register map and enhanced capabilities.
