Ask the Expert - Inductive Position Sensors with Microchip

Inductive position sensors are becoming much more prominent. For example, in modern electric vehicle design, they are replacing Hall Effect sensors due to their increased accuracy and precise control. With immunity against the stray magnetic fields, they actively filter to the frequency required to sense, both for linear and rotary motions, giving rise to safety-critical EV motor position monitoring. 

In this Ask the Expert we caught up with Mark Smith from Microchip to learn more about the application of inductive position sensors and how Microchip is addressing this growing market.
