linearity) is reduced to from ~± 1.1° down to ~± 0.3°. The averaging however, also increases the total propagation delay, therefore it may be
considered for low speeds only or adaptive; depending on speed
8.8.2 Vertical Distance of the Magnet
The chip-internal automatic gain control (AGC) regulates the input signal amplitude for the tracking-ADC to a constant value. This improves the
accuracy of the encoder and enhances the tolerance for the vertical distance of the magnet.

As shown in
Consequently, it is a good indicator for determining the vertical position of the magnet, for example as a pushbutton feature, as an indicator for a
defective magnet or as a preventive warning (e.g. for wear on a ball bearing etc.) when the nominal AGC value drifts away.
If the magnet is too close or the magnetic field is too strong, the AGC will be reading 0,
If the magnet is too far away (or missing) or if the magnetic field is too weak, the AGC will be reading 63 (3F
The AS5030 will still operate outside the AGC range, but the accuracy may be reduced as the signal amplitude can no longer be kept at a
constant level.

airgaps (0.4mm ~ 0.8mm).
At very short distances (0mm ~ 0.1mm) the accuracy is reduced, mainly due to nonlinearities in the magnetic field.
At larger distances, outside the AGC range (~2.0mm ~ 2.5mm and more) the accuracy is still very good, only slightly decreased from the nominal
accuracy.
Since the field strength of a magnet changes with temperature, the AGC will also change when the temperature of the magnet changes. At low
temperatures, the magnetic field will be stronger and the AGC value will decrease. At elevated temperatures, the magnetic field will be weaker
and the AGC value will increase.
