ZMID5201 Overview
The ZMID5201, ZMID5202, and ZMID5203 family of inductive position sensor ICs are used for absolute rotary or linear motion sensing in automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer applications. The ZMID520x 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...
