Abstract: A position sensor device includes a sensor head with a sensor coil, and an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter for digitizing output from the sensor coil, and sending the digital input to electronics of the device for further processing. The A/D converter is located closer to the coil than it is to the electronics, which may be in an electronics box mounted remotely from the sensor head. The A/D converter may be a part of the sensor head, may be adjacent to the sensor head, and/or may be connected to the sensor coil by an analog output cable. The analog output cable between the sensor coil and the A/D converter may be of negligible length (and of negligible capacitance), and in any event may be shorter than a digital output cable between the A/D converter and the electronics.
