The KMA36 magnetic encoder IC from TE Connectivity (TE) is an
excellent solution for reliable and precise measurement in innovative
and rugged applications. Its Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR)
technology determines accurately and contactless the magnetic angle
of an external magnet over 360° with resolution up to 15 bit.
The KMA36 offers a sleep reduced power mode over I²C. In addition,
programmable parameters give users access to a wide range of
configuration options to provide the maximum of freedom and
functionalities.
Used both as a linear or a rotary position sensor, the KMA36 magnetic
encoder IC has large air gap tolerance. The measurement is reliable
over temperature ranges and insensitive to thermal stress. The
maintenance-free operation and high bandwidth of this universal
magnetic sensor make it a good choice for dynamic applications in
harsh environments.
