austriamicrosystems has released EasyPoint, a joystick module aimed at portable communication devices.
It consists of a mechanical stack incorporating a navigation knob with a magnet and the AS5011, a contactless sensing IC. Its construction and the contactless sensing mean that the module has high mechanical reliability.
The joystick modules support true 360° movement, encompass a ‘select’ function and can be housed in a variety of form factors, with a module height of 1.8 mm.
At the core of the joystick is the AS5011, a magnetic encoder IC that monitors knob displacement relative to its centre position and provides position information via 12C outputs. The AS5011 offers user-selectable power-saving modes.
