Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

A common application seen throughout the industrial and commercial sectors is proximity sensing—detecting when some object is physically close to a sensor. A variety of processes can be implemented ...

Texas Instruments rolled out its first differential inductive switch, with a dual-coil architecture that automatically compensates for variations in temperature and component aging. The LDC0851 ...

The need for advanced and improved human machine interfaces (HMIs) is increasing due to increasing digitalization trends including Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), the Artificial ...

Last week Belgian fabless chip company Melexis announced a unique inductive sensing IC that includes a tiny transformer, drive circuit and sense circuit, so Electronics Weekly decided to have a closer ...

This sensor driver/receiver IC uses PCB-based differential sensing coils and sophisticated topology to provide high accuracy and noise immunity in harsh environments. There’s a large gap between the ...

Melexis is sampling its Induxis switch, the MLX92442, which is a contactless, magnet-free, and strayfield immune, amonolithic device which directly detects conductive targets. It enables small module ...

Renesas Electronics Corp. has introduced a new family of magnet-free inductive position sensor (IPS) ICs that can be fully customized for various coil designs compatible with a wide range of ...
