NSE-5310
Miniature Position Encoder SOIC with Zero
Reference and I²C Output
1 General Description
2 Key Features
The TRACKER NSE-5310 is an incremental position sensor with on-
chip encoding for direct digital output. A Hall element array on the
chip is used to derive the incremental position of an external
magnetic strip placed above the IC at a distance of 0.3 mm (typ).
This sensor array detects the ends of the magnetic strip to provide a
zero reference point.
The integration of Hall-effect position sensors, analog front end and
digital signal processing on a single IC chip provides an ingeniously
small position sensor, without the need for external pulse counters.
Direct digital output is accessible over the serial interface using I²C
protocol.
The TRACKER NSE-5310 provides absolute position information
over the length of a magnet pole pair (2 mm). A user can count pole
pairs and achieve absolute position information over the entire length
of the magnet (essentially unlimited).
With better than 0.5 micron resolution, the TRACKER is a robust,
cost-effective alternative to miniature optical encoders. It can be
used as a linear or off-axis rotary encoder.
