Melexis MLX90513 Automotive Inductive Position Sensor

Melexis MLX90513 Automotive Inductive Position Sensor is engineered for absolute rotary and linear motion/position sensing in automotive and industrial applications. The MLX90513 controls an inductive sensor (coils) and processes the captured analog signals with on-chip calculation. The sensor supports SENT/SPC (Short PWM Code), PWM, and analog output modes.

The Melexis MLX90513 Automotive Inductive Position Sensor is ideal for demanding applications such as pedal or steering wheel positions.
