A new ready-to-operate evaluation board is now available for high-resolution, 3-channel sine-to-digital converter iC-MN. It can be connected up to Hall or magnetoresistive angle sensors, or photosensor arrays in optical encoders. Plug-in sockets ease the testing of application-specific wiring using optional components. High-precision SAR converter iC-MN resolves phase angles from sine/cosine signals of up to 13 bits and has an excellent angle accuracy of typically 0.1 degrees.
iC-MFL is a monolithically integrated, 8-channel level shifter to drive Logic FETs. The internal circuit blocks have been designed in such a way that with single errors, such as open pins or the short-circuiting of two outputs, the iC-MFL output stages switch to a predefined, safe state. Externally connected FETs therefore shut down safely in the event of a single error. The device is now qualified for typical SIL/ASIL applications according to AEC Q100
iC-MZ is an integrated device consisting of a differential Hall switch with back-end complementary line drivers. The two integrated Hall sensors are set 2 mm apart and sense the difference in magnetic field. Magnetic DC fields are not evaluated; this means that besides the direct scanning of magnetic pole wheels with an additional bias magnet ferromagnetic gear wheels can also be detected. The magnetic input frequencies range from DC to 40 kHz. Magnetic DC fields of up to 500 mT are tolerated.
Chip incremental encoder for motor commutation and way or angle measurement
The open source BiSS interface asserted in the bidirectional communication for automation, worldwide and vendor independent. New social media platforms in the web 2.0 demonstrate the ideal platform for intensive communication and networking of BiSS users. Corresponding accounts on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have been established, RSS feeds are subscribable.
iC-MQ's universal signal conditioning facility is suitable for optical and magnetic linear and angle sensors. For the very first time, outstanding diagnostic features are now available. Operational errors, such as signal loss or clipping, exceeding a preset operating temperature range or RPM speed and - as a totally new feature - a line count error of the scale or disc pattern
iC-MSB is a signal conditioner with a fault-tolerant line driver for sine/cosine sensors which are used to determine positions in linear and angular encoders, for example. Precision instrumentation amplifiers with differential current or voltage inputs are available for three channels and can be set independently with regard to amplification, offset and phase correction. An integrated controller supplies the sensor with power and ensures that the chip's output levels are stabilized to 1Vpp exactly. At the same time the finely adjustable calibration parameters permit an utmost degree of accuracy during the ensuing interpolation process.
For the first time ever high-resolution sine-to-digital converter iC-NQC provides the microelectronics industry with a BiSS C slave protocol that enables bidirectional data exchange at the same time as the cyclic output of measurement data. Normalized addresses device information is available that indexes the relevant standard device profile or a description file. An optional electronic ID plate can also be used to describe the measurement application.
Innovation through experience indicates the cooperation between iC-Haus and Dr. Wolfgang Huber, founder of the new LED and LASER design and support center "Chips4Light".
