Micronas launches enhanced angle sensor for automotive and industrial

Advanced sensor expert Micronas releases new direct angle sensors the HAL 372x featuring a ratiometric analog output and the HAL 373x with PWM and SENT output according SAE-J2716 release 2010. These sensors feature 30% improvement in angular measurement compared to its previous family due to improvement in Hall plate performance. The key features of these sensors include: They are designed to operate in the wide, junction temperature range from –40 °C to 170 °C. Can be used for position detection with reduced magnet sizes or the wear-free replacement of conventional potentiometers An overall movement of up to 40 mm can be detected with simple magnetic setups. The HAL 37xy family offers a very high absolute overall measurement accuracy of 1.5 degrees. The sensors are housed in a small SOIC8 SMD or 4-pin leaded TO92UP package and are qualified according to AEC-Q 100 The sensor has high-temperature resistant non-volatile memory to store calibration parameters. Feature internal DSP algorithms in combination with the integrated EEPROM supporting compensation for application-specific impairments. Offer 33 setpoints with 16 bit accuracy help to further reduce errors caused by the system setup, especially for linear position detection applications. Easy-to-use LabVIEW-based software The range of diagnostic functions includes the detection and the signaling of wirin...
