Transmission Sensor ICs
Featuring advanced Hall and back-biased GMR technologies, our transmission sensors deliver exceptional vibration immunity, wide air gap performance, and stable output—even under harsh operating conditions. With ASIL-compliant products and integrated magnet and protection options, we’re setting a new benchmark for fuel-efficient, safety-critical transmission applications
Features include:
- Front and back-biased solutions for magnetic encoder or ferrous target sensing
- Two-and three-wire output protocols supporting speed, direction, and ASIL error reporting (optional)
- Integrated solutions include IC, magnet (optional), and EMC protection component(s) in a single overmolded miniature package
- Differential sensing offers inherent common-mode stray field immunity
- Low jitter for high edge accuracy
- Flexible orientation GMR technology for xMR or Hall replacement and application installation flexibility
- EEPROM enables factory traceability throughout the production process
