Features

  • Absolute angle resolution 16.6 effective number of bits (ENOB), static angle accuracy < 0.04°, very low latency 9.6μs
  • 58mm diameter conductive target and sense PCB with two Nonius coils at 16 and 15 periods per turn enable a low-height design
  • Immunity to stray magnetic fields enables resolver replacement at lower system cost, lower power consumption < 500mW, and higher accuracy
  • Integrated analog front-end IC for contactless inductive position sensing removes the need for magnets, lowering system cost
  • MCU with integrated dual 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), oversampling and trigonometric math accelerator help increase resolution and reduce system cost
