AS5048 14-bit Magnetic Rotary Encoder IC Slide 4

To get a better understanding of 14-bit resolution, lets compare it to 10-bit and 12-bit. Inside the AS5048 there is a 14-bit ADC (analog digital converter) and this means per revolution 16384 steps. 360 degree device by 16384 steps means the device has a resolution of 0.022 degree per single step. 1 step is equal to 1 LSB (least significant bit) and this is the smallest theoretical measurement which can be done.
