Sensor innovations in active noise cancellation
Molex has introduced an accelerometer-based Road Noise Cancelling (RNC) sensor, the first product in a new family of automotive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) sensors. These sensors will play a role in combatting unwanted road, wind and HVAC car noise while reducing low-frequency sounds that increase driver fatigue.
Current sensors are powered by patented technology
In stock now at distributor Mouser Electronics, Inc. is the CT220 XtremeSense contactless current sensors from Crocus Technology.
Current sensor IC eases assembly and boosts accuracy
Melexis has introduced the MLX91216 XHF extra high-field current sensor, extending the ease and accuracy of its unique IMC-Hall technology into high-current measurement for emerging automotive applications.
Time of Flight sensor module delivers 3D capabilities
The extensive sensor offering at Heilind Electronics has been extended with the Omron B5L 3D Time of Flight (TOF) sensor module.
Inductive position sensor for automotive motor commutation
Renesas Electronics has launched its magnet-free IPS2550 inductive position sensor. Featuring improved performance and easy customisation, as well as total stray field immunity, and reduced weight and form factor, the IPS2550 is suitable for use as an absolute position sensor for high speed motor commutation in passenger cars, heavy-duty commercial and off-road vehicles as well as motorbikes.
Differential pressure sensors for industrial applications
Superior Sensor Technology has announced differential pressure sensors for industrial applications that support up to seven selectable pressure ranges in one device. Designed for a wide range of applications, the company’s new ND Series sensors support pressure ranges as low as 62.5 Pa/0.25” H2O to as high as 345 mBar/5 psi with an accuracy within 0.05% and Total Error Band (TEB) of less than 0.15% FSS.
