New AMR-based angle sensors from Infineon: best-in class angle accuracy at low magnetic fields

Infineon Technologies has introduced a new family of AMR (anistropic magnetoresistant) angle sensors that is highly accurate at low magnetic fields and can enable designers to use less powerful, cheaper magnets.  Introduced at 2019 Sensor+Test trade fair in Nuremberg, the Xensiv TLE5109A16 sensors are designed for very precise, fast and […]

Tech Briefing: Diametrically-Magnetized Magnets – Perfect for Magnetic Angle & Rotation Sensing

By Daniel A. Baker, NVE Corporation What is a “diametrically-magnetized” magnet? Diametrically-magnetized magnets have the poles on opposite sides of the magnet diameter, making them perfect for magnetic angle and rotation sensing (see Figure 1).This magnetization direction differs from conventional axially-magnetized disk magnets that have the north pole on one […]
