Description
The MT6816 is a high-resolution 12-bit magnetic encoder that provides absolute angle measurement using a Hall-effect sensing principle. Designed for reliable and contactless rotary position sensing, it features multiple digital output modes and supports both incremental and absolute outputs via I²C, PWM, or ABI interfaces.
Key Features
