Product description

The MLX90514 is a dual-input inductive position sensor used for absolute rotary or linear motion sensing. It is suitable for automotive applications where the simultaneous measurement of two positions is required. The position information derived from the two channels can be directly transferred to the output or used for the calculation of derived quantities, in particular differential and Vernier angles.

The MLX90514 is designed to control an inductive sensor system formed by the transmitting coil, one or two targets and two sets of receiver coils, each composed of three receiver coils. The on-chip LC oscillator generates an electromagnetic field together with the transmitting coil. This electro- magnetic field induces, via the target(s), angle-dependent voltages in the receiving coils. These signals are captured and processed by the MLX90514 internal DSP units according to the device configuration.

The sensor is provided with an additional PWM input channel whose readout can also be used for the calculation of the derived quantities.

The MLX90514 offers multiple output modes. It supports all standard formats of (fast) SENT and SPC (Short PWM Code), including enhanced serial messages providing error codes. It can also be configured to output a PWM signal. For embedded applications, the SPI protocol allows fast protected data transfer and device programming.

For engineering development, you can utilize the DVK90514 evaluation kit. When it comes to production, both engineering and mass production, the MLX90514 is fully compatible with the PTC-04 (DB-HALL06).
