Allegro MicroSystems has introduced a new, giant magnetoresistance (GMR) speed sensor that measures the rotation of ferromagnetic gears. The ATS19480 speed sensor IC provides a single-channel solution that’s suited for hybrid and pure electric vehicle transmissions, with use cases extending to two-wheelers, off-road vehicles, and industrial application designs requiring speed-only information.

Time of Flight (ToF) ranging sensors are based on STMicroelectronics’ range of Flight Sense patented technology which allows the sensors to provide highly accurate distance measurement and proximity sensing.

The SFC5500 digital multi-gas mass flow controllers from Sensirion are now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics.

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the next generation of its infrared-based optical dynamic gesture sensor, able to sense a broader range of gestures at extended distances. The MAX25405 detects a wider proximity of movement and doubles the sensing range to 40cm when compared to earlier generations, all in a quarter of the size and at ten times lower cost than time-of-flight (ToF) camera-based systems in automotive, industrial and cons...

Availability of an extensive selection of advanced sensors used by monitoring systems for many different applications in the industrial, healthcare and transportation sectors has been announced by RS Components.

The SHT40 humidity and temperature sensors from Sensirion are now in stock at distributor Digi-Key.

Prima Electronic Services has utilised its engineering experience and knowhow to help with healthcare work in the developing world. Cambridge-based start-up Simprints supplies fingerprint biometric sensor modules to countries like Tanzania, Ethiopia and Bangladesh.

Here, Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top five sensor products released in June.

CUI Devices’ Motion Group has announced the introduction of a new model to its AMT incremental encoder family. Based on the existing AMT10 series package, the new AMT10E series offers 13 new resolutions not possible in the standard version, including the common 1250 PPR, 2500 PPR, and 5120 PPR resolutions.

Texas Instruments has introduced the first devices in a new family of humidity sensors that provide high reliability and accuracy and the lowest power consumption – along with built-in protection of sensing elements.
