TDK announces ASIL Class C Hall-effect position sensors for automotive and industrial applications

     TDK Industrial and Digital Solutions recently announced the launch of an ASIL Class C Hall-effect position sensor for automotive and industrial applications. With high accuracy and reliability, the sensor can operate in extreme environments and can be used in applications such as electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, industrial machinery and B140-13-F robots.

     ASIL Class C is a classification of the Automotive Safety Integrity Level used to assess the functional safety performance of automotive electronic systems. ASIL Class C is one of the more demanding levels in automotive safety and is suitable for critical electronic systems that require a high degree of reliability and safety.

     The new Hall effect position sensor uses magnetic coding technology to enable highly accurate position detection. It has a highly linear output characteristic and low noise to provide more accurate position measurements. The sensor also has extremely high temperature stability and anti-magnetic interference capability, which allows it to operate over a wide temperature range and is not disturbed by external magnetic fields.

     The sensor uses TDK's self-developed ASIC chip with highly integrated features and low power consumption. The sensor also supports multiple communication interfaces, such as SPI, PWM, and SSI, which can be integrated with different types of controllers and systems.

     Because the sensor meets ASIL Class C requirements, it can be used in critical electronic systems in the car, such as the braking system, steering system and electric drive system. Sensors can also be used in industrial machinery and robotics applications such as position control, motion control and automation systems.

     TDK's ASIL Class C Hall-effect position sensors have been tested and certified to stringent automotive industry standards to ensure their safety and reliability. This sensor will help automotive manufacturers and customers in the industrial sector achieve higher levels of functional safety and performance requirements.

     Overall, TDK's ASIL Class C Hall-effect position sensors offer high precision, reliability and safety for critical electronic systems in the automotive and industrial sectors. This sensor will help drive technological innovation and development in the automotive and industrial sectors.
