ZMID4200
Inductive Position Sensor IC
Datasheet
Description
The ZMID4200 is an inductive position sensor IC, applicable for absolute rotary or linear motion sensing in industrial, medical, and consumer applications. The ZMID4200 uses the physical principles of induction in a wire loop and eddy currents to detect the position of an electrically conducting target that is sliding or rotating above a set of coils, consisting of one transmitter coil and two receiver coils.
The three coils are typically printed as copper traces on a printed circuit board (PCB). They are arranged such that the transmitter coil induces a secondary voltage in the receiver coils that depends on the position of the metallic target above the coils.
