IDT Position Sensors - Contactless Linear, Rotary, and Angular / Arc

IDT's contactless position sensor solutions are magnet-free, significantly reducing materials costs while providing immunity to magnetic stray fields – a mandatory requirement for many applications, particularly in automotive. Instead of magnets, the inductive position sensors interface with low-cost PCB-based coils and simple metallic targets, providing single-chip design flexibility for rotary end-of shaft (on-axis) sensors, rotary side shaft (off-axis) sensors, linear position sensors, and arc position sensors; from small angles up to full 360° absolute angle sensing.

Features

• No magnets required; reduces system cost
• Wide operating temperature range for harsh environments
• Ultra-thin position sensors design options (~2mm)
• High accuracy in all applications (angle, linear, and rotary)
