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 ...

There is a wide need for position, motion, and proximity sensing using low power for various applications. Capacitive, inductive, and Hall effect sensors are among the approaches for today’s low-power ...

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 ...

In quick review, an inductive sensor generates an electromagnetic wave at a specific tuned frequency. The tuned circuit inside the sensor has a high impedance at that frequency, creating a high ...
