Texas Instruments Unveils 3D Position Sensor

 

Texas Instruments has introduced a new sensor that can help smart factories operate with more precise, real-time control.

Its new TMAG5170 is the industry’s most accurate 3D Hall-effect position sensor, according to Texas Instruments.

The sensor also provides integrated functions and diagnostics to maximize design flexibility and system safety.

The TMAG5170 is the first device in a new TI family of 3D Hall-effect position sensors targeting a range of industrial needs, from ultra-high performance to general purpose, TI says.
