Inductive position sensors use a PCB as the sensor and a piece of metal as the target. While this may be a new way to implement sensing, the technology is well-established.

Piher Sensors & Controls has introduced the MTS-360 Mechanical Mount Rotary Position Sensor with integral PCB for fast and easy mounting.

Melexis has introduced the MLX90377 single- and dual-die (fully redundant) Triaxis position sensor for automotive and industrial applications together with a new PCB-less package for position sensors.

The newest addition to Allegro’s 3DMAG family of magnetic sensors, the A31316, is Allegro’s first magnetic position sensor to provide multi-direction measurement in a PCB-less SIP package.

The position sensing also allows for a few neat tricks, like the ability to use the motors as inputs. Embedded below are two short videos showcasing both of these features, so check them out.

Microchip’s LX34070 inductive position sensor aims to replace less accurate magnet-based designs for safety-critical EV motor positioning control. The IC provides differential outputs, fast sample ...

The final polyurethane/PET/Flex PCB stack-up for the sensor pad Fortunately, one of the main topics covered in the course is documentation, and [Leo] has provided ample material for review.

The throttle position sensor monitors how far open the throttle valve (or blade) is open, which is determined by how far down the accelerator pedal has been pushed. The throttle position controls ...

Robust A31316 IC enables flexible integration for precision contactless position sensing A31316 PCB-Less 3DMAG Sensor for Vehicle Safety and ADAS Applications Manchester, NH, USA, Nov. 08, 2022 ...
