KMA215
Programmable angle sensor with SAE J2716 SENT
Rev. 1 — 24 February 2014
Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The KMA215 is a magnetic angle sensor module with digital output in accordance with
SAE J2716 JAN2010 Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT). The MagnetoResistive
(MR) sensor bridges, the mixed signal Integrated Circuit (IC) and the required capacitors
are integrated into a single package.
This angular measurement module KMA215 is pre-programmed, pre-calibrated and
therefore, ready to use. The default configuration for the digital output is
SENT2010-03.0us-6dn-npp-nsp-A.3.
The KMA215 allows user-specific adjustments of angular range, zero angle and SENT
configuration. The settings are stored in a multi-time programmable non-volatile memory.
