MEAS KMA36R SENSOR FOR
GROVE SYSTEM
Digital Magnetic Encoder Sensor
The KMA36(A) provides the necessary hardware to interface the
KMA36, A universal magnetic encoder for precise rotational
measurement. To any system that utilizes Grove compatible expansion
ports configurable for I²C communication. The KMA36 sensor feature a
system-on chip technology that combines a magneto resistive element
along with analog to digital converter and signal processing in a
standard small package. The sensor model works in 5V voltage
external. By using Anisotropic Magneto Resistive(AMR) technology, the
KMA36 can determine contactless the magnetic angle of an external
magnet over 360°.

Detailed Description
I²C Interface:
The KMA36R Grove compliant module can interface to the host in I²C model with 5V supply, it has a Grove compatible four
pins port connector configured for I²C.
External Control Signals 5V supply:
The IC operates as an I²C slave using the standard 2-wire I²C connection scheme. As IC is power rated at 3.6V, the board
integrates necessary fixture such as a regulator and electrical level shift so that the SCL and SDA signals could be driven
directly from an external 5V I²C lines and power supply.
