Overview

Description

We enable accurate evaluation and integration of steering angle sensing in automotive systems using a platform built around the RL78/F13 MCU and RAA2P4520 inductive position sensor. Our solution addresses the need for high-precision, magnet-free angle detection while ensuring reliable signal processing and CAN communication. We help streamline system development by delivering stable data transfer to vehicle electronic control units (ECUs), improving overall control performance.

Features

  • Designed for harsh environments and extreme temperatures​, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified for -40°C to +160°C operation​
  • Immune to magnetic stray fields—no magnetic shielding required​
  • ISO 26262 compliant, fulfilling FuSa requirements up to single-chip ASIL D at the system level
  • Digital output via 14-bit SENT or high-speed UART
  • Automatic gain control (AGC) compensates for air-gap variations​
  • Built-in protection against overvoltage (±18V), reverse polarity (±18V), ESD, and short circuit
