New ams Position Sensors for High-Speed Electric Motors to Improve Car Industry's Electrification Effortsams (SIX: AMS (News - Alert)), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, introduces new position sensors that lower system cost and enhance electrification of safety-critical vehicle functions such as power steering, active damper control, and braking for safer, smarter, and greener cars. The two new position sensors bring new benefits and a lower system cost to the automotive industry. The ams AS5147U is an intelligent magnetic rotary position sensor chip for use in electric motors that run at speeds up to 28,000rpm. The new AS5247U is a dual stacked-die version, which provides the redundancy required for the most demanding ASIL D-rated functional safety applications. These new products respond to the automotive industry's efforts to build safer, smarter, greener vehicles:
"Advanced electrification means valuable reductions in the environmental impact of next-generation vehicles - and is one of the key steps the automotive industry is taking to make cars greener. The latest position sensor technology from ams helps the industry to accelerate the implementation of electrification through easy-to-use position measurements that maximize torque and efficiency in high-speed motors." Ready-made measurement solution The AS5x47U products are highly integrated position measurement solutions incorporating magnetic sensor elements, analog signal conditioning and a powerful DSP-based processing engine. The sensors provide a choice of convenient output formats:
The AS5147U sensor comes in a compact 14-lead TSSOP package. The dual-die AS5247U is equipped with a 7mm x 7mm 32-lead TQFP package. Both sensors are qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0. The AS5147U and AS5247U position sensors are available now in production volumes. For more technical information or to request samples, go to https://ams.com/as5147u and https://ams.com/as5247u.
