Designed to overcome limitations of inductive
sensing, the NCS32100 rotary position sensor brings high speed and
accuracy to industrial applications
onsemi (Nasdaq: ON), a leader in intelligent power and
sensing technologies, today introduced an innovative dual-inductive
rotary position sensor, which convinces with its speed and
accuracy. The NCS32100 uses a newly patented approach to inductive
position sensing, making it an ideal choice for industrial and
robotic applications, where fast-moving robotics and machinery are
deployed.
While the features of inductive encoders make them very
appealing for industrial applications, they have historically been
limited to use cases that do not require a high degree of accuracy
and operate with low rotational speed. With the NCS32100, onsemi
leveraged its 20+ years of expertise designing inductive sensors to
combine the reliable benefits of inductive encoders with the
accuracy and speed generally associated with mid- to high-end
optical encoders. Using a 38mm sensor, the device delivers +/-50
arcsec accuracy at 6,000 RPM. The NCS32100 can support speeds up to
100,000 RPM with reduced accuracy.
“The NCS32100 features firmware that directly outputs absolute
position and velocity preloaded in its integrated microcontroller
(MCU) providing an easy ‘plug and play’ solution,” said Michel De
Mey, vice president of the Industrial Solutions Division, onsemi.
“The level of integration the NCS32100 offers can significantly
reduce design time and the number of external components needed,
allowing for faster time to market and more compact and efficient
design.”
Inductive sensors have several key features that make them
desirable for industrial applications including low sensitivity to
almost all forms of contamination or interference, robustness
against mechanical vibration, and no first-order temperature
dependence. The NCS32100 device also features an integrated
calibration routine to account for mechanical misalignment in the
sensor. High levels of configurability enable use with a wide range
of printed circuit board (PCB) sensor designs, giving OEMs the
ability to configure and differentiate their solutions. The
integrated MCU includes non-volatile flash memory (NVM) and a
configurable interface for communication with the host
processor.
Reference designs and evaluation boards are available to further
accelerate the design process for industrial applications. The
NCS32100 is available now through onsemi sales support and
authorized distributors.
You can learn more about the NCS32100 and meet with onsemi
experts in hall C4 booth 101 at electronica. The world’s leading
trade fair and conference for electronics is taking place at the
Trade Fair Center Messe München, Germany, November 15–18, 2022.
