Datasheet
Description
The ZMID5201, ZMID5202, and ZMID5203 ICs are a family of
inductive position sensors, used for absolute rotary and linear
motion sensing in automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer
applications.

Position sensing based on inductive principle
Cost effective, no magnet required
Immune to magnetic stray fields; no shielding required
Suitable for harsh environments and extreme temperatures
Only three wires (ground, supply, output)
The ZMID520x uses the physical principles of induction in a wire
loop and eddy currents to detect the position of an electrically
conducting target that is sliding or rotating above a set of coils,
consisting of one transmitter coil and two receiver coils.
Nonvolatile user memory; programming through output pin
Single IC supports on-axis and off-axis rotation, linear motion,
and arc motion sensing
The three coils are typically printed as copper traces on a printed
circuit board (PCB). They are arranged such that the transmitter
coil induces a secondary voltage in the receiver coils that
depends on the position of the metallic target above the coils.

High resolution, even for small angle ranges
High accuracy: ≤ 0.2% full scale
9-point user linearization
A signal representative of the target’s position over the coils is
obtained by demodulating and processing the secondary voltages
from the receiver coils. The target can be any kind of metal, such
as aluminum, steel or a PCB with a printed copper layer.
Rotation sensing up to a full turn of 360º
Overvoltage and reverse-polarity protection:
-14V to +18V maximum, depending on product

ESD and short-circuit protection
The ZMID5201/-02-/03 ICs are fully qualified to the automotive
standard AEC-Q 100, grade 0 from -40°C up to 150°C ambient
temperature.
Power or ground loss detection
Facilitates redundant design requirements
Programmable non-linearity correction
Three versions with different output interfaces are available:
Adaptive gain control supporting a wide range of coil designs
and target displacement
