The trigger/amplifier circuitry inside the sensor is used to monitor the amplitude of the oscillator, and at certain levels (predetermined levels) the circuitry switches on (or off) the sensor/switch ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core ...

That produces a load on the sensor's inductive circuit. Circuits in the sensor detect the reduced amplitude, which produces a lower output voltage in a linear proximity sensor. In a proximity switch, ...

However, a new inductive sensor has arrived that could change the face of proximity sensing. Proximity-Sensing Applications. In terms of common applications, one of the most prevalent is the ...

When operated as a two-wire sensor, the IC built-in self-diagnostics and a dedicated safe mode can be used – the company intends it to be rated as an ISO26262 ASIL A ‘safety element out of context’ ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...
