TIDA-00463 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Fluxgate Based Displacement Sensor Reference Design

Description

The TIDA-00463 showcases a displacement sensor for linear distance measurements in a BoosterPack form factor for TI LaunchPad.  The design is suitable for any application where a distance measurement: even through non-magnetic materials: is needed and non-contact: wear-free measurements are required.  Through the use of magnetic fluxgate technology: this design is able to cover a wide measurement distance while achieving high resolution and accuracy.

Features
  • Measures 10cm distance: 1mm resolution: with a 6mm diameter NdFeB magnet(Hc>1350kA/m)Able to detect the presence of the magnet up to 30cmCommon mode fields rejectionTemperature range: -40 °C to 125 °CNo temperature dependent: Max Temp Drift=100nT/ °C
