CAM204 Type 6 Development Board

CAM204 Development Board for Type 6 sensors

CambridgeIC’s CAM204 Central Tracking Unit (CTU) chip is a single-chip processor for Position measurement. It implements the electronic processing for resonant inductive position sensing technology. The CAM204 measures the position of contactless, inductively coupled targets relative to sensors that are built from printed circuit boards to CambridgeIC’s design. A selection of sensor geometries is possible, including rotary and linear.
The Type 6 CTU Development Board is a PCB including the CAM204 CTU chip and external Type 6 circuitry. This is compatible with up to two Type 6 sensors. Type 6 sensors are typically for through shaft rotary position measurement.

Please refer to the appropriate sensor datasheet for more details.

Please refer to the CAM204 datasheet for more details on features and specifications of the CAM204 controller.
