Highly reliable position sensor IC from ams provides accurate position data for latest active chassis control systems

Unterpremstaetten, Austria (February 5, 2014) – Highly-reliable contactless magnetic position sensing technology from ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, has gained valuable endorsement from the demanding automotive industry.

International automotive supplier Continental is basing its new CPS series chassis height sensor on the AS5162, a magnetic position sensor from ams.

The AS5162, paired with a simple two-pole magnet, accurately detects angular displacements as fine as 0.09° over a full revolution. Its non-contacting semiconductor technology is immune to stray magnetic fields and, unlike optical or contacting position sensors, it is unaffected by … Read More → "Highly reliable position sensor IC from ams provides accurate position data for latest active chassis control systems"
