MLX90514 robotics - Dual-Input Inductive Position Sensor Interface IC
The MLX90514 is a dual-input inductive encoder for absolute rotary or linear motion sensing. It is suitable for robotic & industrial applications where the simultaneous measurement of two positions is required. The position information derived from the two channels can be directly transferred to the output or used for the calculation of a 16‐bit Vernier angle. The MLX90514-robotics (robotics & industrial automation) offers multiple output modes. An SPI protocol allows fast protected data transfer and device programming. The SSI enables fast data output with a 2‐wire connection.
