Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it delivers 5,000 position sample/s, either linear or angular, and 14 bits of resolution using resonant inductive sensors. In operation, two passive resonant LC circuits, mounted on a single small PCB (see image) are …
