With Dynamic Angle Error Compensation (DAEC™), a patent-pending technology developed by ams AG, its new “47 series” position sensors eliminate the measurement error attributable to propagation delay. The 47 series includes the AS5047D, AS5147 and AS5247. Propagation delay (typically 100-200 µs) occurs in traditional magnetic rotary position sensor ICs as they convert raw measurements of […]

Turning RFID Tags into Sensor Tags
The next generation of RFID tags from ams AG allows the reading of identification data, as well as temperature from an onbaord sensor and other environmental conditions from external sensors. The SL13A is an ISO15693-compliant tag for use with near field communications (NFC-V) and high-frequency radio-frequency identification (HF RFID) readers. The SL900A is an EPC […]
ISO26262 Functional Safety Applied to Sensors
Since its release in 2011, the ISO26262 functional safety standard for automotive safety has lead to even higher expectations for future automotive quality. The specification defines Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) of A, B, C or D, with D being the most critical. Each level demands a maximum failure rate and a minimum percentage of […]
