    摘要: Methods and apparatus for linear inductive torque sensing that may include transmitting an AC magnetic field with a transmit coil toward a conductive target and receiving a field reflected by the conductive target with a receive coil, wherein the conductive target comprises first and second targets positioned with respect to each other and each shaped to linearly increase or decrease an amount of conductive area of the conductive target due to relative movement of the first and second targets which changes an amount of the field reflected by the conductive target. A signal from the receive coil can be processed to determine a relative position of the first and second targets corresponding to an amount of torque on an elongate member connected to the first and second targets. In other embodiments, a change in inductance of the transmit coil is measured to determine relative target position.

    摘要: A pressure sensor includes a chamber comprising a conductive portion and a deformable portion coupled to the conductive portion and susceptible to deformation in response to a pressure differential between an interior of the chamber and an exterior of the chamber; at least one coil responsive to an AC coil drive signal; at least one magnetic field sensing element disposed proximate to the at least one coil and to the conductive portion of the chamber and configured to generate a magnetic field signal in response to a reflected magnetic field generated by the at least one coil and reflected by the conductive portion; and a circuit coupled to the at least one magnetic field sensing element to generate an output signal of the pressure sensor indicative of the pressure differential between the interior of the chamber and the exterior of the chamber in response to the magnetic field signal.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises one or more substrates and one or more coils. At least one of the coils is configured to produce a first magnetic field that induces eddy currents in a conductive target, which generates a reflected magnetic field. One or more magnetic field sensing elements supported by the one or more substrates detect the reflected magnetic field. A conductive support structure supports the one or more substrates. The support structure includes a gap in an area adjacent to the one or more coils so that the support structure does not generate a reflected magnetic field in response to the first magnetic field.

    摘要: A system for controlling a motor may include a motor driver circuit for driving a camera motor. A memory capable of storing a plurality of parameters for controlling the camera motor may also be included. A set of parameters from the memory may be chosen to be applied to driving the motor. A motor control module may receive a signal from the control logic module, apply the chosen set of parameters to driving the camera motor, and command the motor driver circuit to drive the motor in accordance with the applied set of parameters. The parameters may be chosen based on desired behavior of the system and various other stimuli.
