Description: The ZMID5201 is an inductive position sensor IC with analog output, used for absolute rotary and linear motion sensing in automotive applications. The ZMID5201 uses the physical principles of induction in a wire loop and Eddy currents to detect the position of a metallic target that is sliding or rotating above a set of coils, consisting of one transmitter coil and two receiver coils. The three coils are typically printed as copper traces on a printed circuit board (PCB). They are arranged such that the tra
