Easy-to-use magnetic position sensor offers durable, contactless replacement for potentiometers
Unterpremstaetten, Austria (September 8, 2014), ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, today introduced the AS5600,a magnetic rotary position sensor which makes it easier than ever before to replace a traditional potentiometer with a more reliable contactless alternative.
To appeal to manufacturers and users of potentiometers, the AS5600 features a ratiometric output, mirroring the output of a potentiometer (which is a variable resistor). This means that users of a potentiometer do not need to change the application code running on their microcontroller when they replace it with a design based on … Read More → "Easy-to-use magnetic position sensor offers durable, contactless replacement for potentiometers"
