Narrative:
Taking runway 7L behind an A319 or similar size type; with traffic on a 5 mile final for same runway. We were given a departure clearance as the airbus was rotating on departure. I discussed a 5-10 degree course heading to the right if needed. As we rotated and started climbing; the first officer kept the speed back (under 200 KIAS) as we were approaching acceleration altitude still at 8 degrees flaps; we encountered an un-commanded roll of approximately 45 degrees to the left. Disconnecting the autopilot; it was a couple seconds before full control was regained. I advised phx tower of our deviation off course for wake turbulence. We resumed our departure course crossing near (south) sprky intersection.tower's use of visual separation does not always provide a good margin of safety on departures.
