Renesas Electronics’ magnet-free IPS2200 inductive position sensor features high accuracy and speed, total stray field immunity, and efficient motor integration in a thin and lightweight form factor. Well-suited for use as an absolute position sensor in industrial, medical, and robot applications, among others, the sensor allows customers to cost-effectively tailor sensor design for their applications and maximize its performance.
The IPS2200 is designed around the motor, allowing customers to match the number of sectors to pole pairs of the motor to maximize accuracy, accommodating both off-axis (through shaft and side shaft) and on-axis positioning. Up to 10x thinner and up to 100x lighter with up to 250 krpm electrical speeds, compared with traditional resolvers. With its four- or six-wire operation, the IPS2200 provides up to 10x faster speeds and very low latency compared with resolver- or magnetic-based solutions.
Key features of the IPS2200 include:
Industrial-qualified for harsh environments
Operational ambient temperature range from -40° to +125° C
Interface: Sin/cos single ended or differential
Voltage Supply: 3.3V ±10% or 5.0V ±10%
Rotational Speed: Up to 250.000 rpm (electrical)
Propagation delay: Programmable, <10µs
Sin/cos gain mismatch and offset compensation
Overvoltage, reverse polarity, short-circuit protected
Digital programming interface: I²C or SPI
In addition, Renesas offers off-the-shelf tools that can be used to create tailored and customized sensing elements, as well as custom tools that can achieve coil optimization sets within about 30 minutes. The IPS2200 is available now with prices starting at $4.22 USD per unit in 1,000-unit quantities. The IPS2200STKIT evaluation kit is also available now. (Pricing and availability subject to change).
