摘要: The disclosure relates to an inductive linear displacement sensor that includes a primary coil and two secondary coils inductively coupled to the primary coil. The linear displacement sensor has a calibration coil inductively coupled to the primary coil. The calibration coil is arranged such that a signal produced by the calibration coil has only one zero crossing at the center of the linear displacement sensor.

摘要: Front-end circuits that combine inductive and capacitive sensing are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a plurality of inductive elements, an inductive measurement circuit, and a frequency divider circuit. The inductive measurement circuit is to output a first signal with a first frequency. The first signal is associated with an inductance change of one of the inductive elements. A feedback circuit can maintain the sinusoidal operation of the first signal. The frequency divider circuit can generate a second signal with a second frequency that is lower than the first frequency.

摘要: A trigger assembly, for use with a power tool having an electric motor, includes a trigger, a conductor coupled for movement with the trigger, and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has an inductive sensor thereon responsive to relative movement between the conductor and the inductive sensor caused by movement of the trigger. An output of the inductive sensor is used to activate the electric motor.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for detecting a magnetic field include a semiconductor substrate, a coil configured to provide a changing magnetic field in response to a changing current in the coil; and a magnetic field sensing element supported by the substrate. The coil receives the changing current and, in response, generates a changing magnetic field. The magnetic field sensing element detects the presence of a magnetic target by detecting changes to the magnetic field caused by the target and comparing them to an expected value.

摘要: An inductive position sensor includes, on the one hand, a primary coil and, on the other hand, at least one secondary coil that includes at least two secondary windings each consisting of a plurality of turns formed on two layers of a printed circuit board. Each of the turns has a first generally concave portion placed on one layer of the printed circuit board and a second generally concave portion placed on another layer of the printed circuit board. Among the first portions and second portions of the turns of the two secondary windings, at least some of these first and second portions are arranged in mirror symmetry on either side of a transverse separation plane, this transverse separation plane being located between the two secondary windings and being orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.

摘要: The described techniques are directed to inductive torque sensors that implement independent target coil and pickup coil systems. By utilizing the various principles of inductive angle sensors, and as a result of the specific physical arrangement of target coils, the inductive torque sensor may independently obtain a rotational position (i.e., mechanical angle) of the rotatable input shaft via one pickup coil system, and a rotational position (i.e., mechanical angle) of the rotatable output shaft via another pickup coil system. Combiner circuitry is also provided to calculate the torsion angle using the signals induced in each of two separate pickup coil systems. By using different k-fold symmetry periodicities in the target coils with respect to the coil configurations, the inductive torque sensor advantageously reduces or eliminates mutual coupling between the different target coil systems and provide robustness to stray or external electromagnetic fields.
