Industrial automation Automotive Aerospace Engine and transmission control Steering and suspension control Robotics Machine tools Industrial process control Aircraft and spacecraft control How it works

The MLX90316KDC-BDG-100-RE uses Hall effect technology to measure the angle of a rotating magnet. The sensor contains three Hall effect sensors arranged in a triangular pattern. As the magnet rotates, it creates a changing magnetic field at each of the sensors. The sensor then calculates the angle of the magnet based on the difference in signal strength between the three sensors.

The MLX90316KDC-BDG-100-RE outputs a digital SPI signal that represents the angle of the magnet. The SPI signal can be easily connected to a microcontroller or other digital device for further processing.

Programming

The MLX90316KDC-BDG-100-RE is fully programmable, allowing users to customize its performance for their specific needs. The sensor can be programmed to set the following parameters:

Resolution Output frequency Filtering Error correction The sensor can be programmed using the MLX90316 Configuration Software, which is available from Melexis.

Conclusion

The MLX90316KDC-BDG-100-RE is a high-performance rotary position sensor that is ideal for use in a wide range of applications. It is accurate, reliable, and easy to use.
