Steering Angle Sensor

The system uses a high-performance, magnet-free inductive position sensor IC for accurate and contactless position sensing. It operates on the principle of eddy currents, using a simple conductive target and a set of transmitter and receiver coils to determine position. The sensor supports digital interfaces such as SENT and high-speed UART. It features a dual-coil architecture for enhanced accuracy and noise immunity, making it ideal for applications such as steering angle sensing, linear or arc motion detection, and other automotive or industrial uses. This system offers a robust, compact, and magnet-free alternative to traditional position sensors.
