Melexis Surface Position Sensor 4.5 V 5.5 V, SPI, PWM, Analogue, SOIC, 8-Pin

This unique sensing principle applied to a rotary position sensor results into an impressive robustness of the angular position over the mechanical (air-gap, off-axis) tolerances. The rotation of this horizontal component is sensed over a wide range (up to 360º) and processed by the on-chip DSP to ultimately report the absolute angular position of the magnet either as a ratiometric analogue output or as Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) signal or as a 14-bit data accessible through a 3-pin SPI (serial interface) channel.

The output transfer characteristic is fully programmable (e.g. offset, gain, clamping levels, linearity, thermal drift, filtering, range, ...) to match any specific requirement through end-of-line calibration.
