Here is the reference circuit diagram of a simple inductive proximity sensor, wired around the 8-pin proximity detector chip TDA0161. This monolithic integrated circuit (from STMicroelectronics) is ...

In quick review, an inductive sensor generates an electromagnetic wave at a specific tuned frequency. The tuned circuit inside the sensor has a high impedance at that frequency, creating a high ...

Sensors that detect and track small metallic objects are handy gadgets, whether used to route workpieces on an assembly line or comb a beach for “treasures” lost in the sand. A typical sensor design ...

The IWFM 08 inductive sensor can be easily integrated into any design due to its compact outer dimensions of just 8 × 16 × 4.7 mm; a sturdy metal housing holds all the electronics.

This high-speed inductive-position sensor includes differential outputs, fast sample rates, and features that make it functional-safety-ready for ISO 26262 compliance in the Automotive Safety ...

When operated as a two-wire sensor, the IC built-in self-diagnostics and a dedicated safe mode can be used – the company intends it to be rated as an ISO26262 ASIL A ‘safety element out of context’ ...
