IPS2550 Description
The IPS2550 is a magnet-free, inductive position sensor IC that can be used for high-speed absolute position sensing in automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer applications. The IPS2550 uses the physical principle of eddy currents to detect the position of a simple metallic target that is moving above a set of coils, consisting of one transmitter coil and two receiver coils. The three coils are typically...
