Alps – New high-precision latch two-phase magnetic sensor for automotive applications (Alps HGPRDT Magnetic Sensor)

Feb 3 2012 - Subs & Systems [More Subs & Systems Articles]

Developed by Alps Electric, the HGPRDT Series high-precision latch two-phase output type magnetic sensor generates two on/off signals as the magnetic field applied alternates between north and south polarity.

For use in automotive equipment, it supports a wide operating temperature range between -40C and +140C, and high voltages up to 30V.

Electronics are increasingly being incorporated into automobiles in order to achieve greater advancements in safety, comfort and convenience. As a result, more onboard automotive systems are electronically controlled, and numerous sensors are being incorporated to detect and control functioning of motor-driven systems used, for example, in moving parts of power windows and car navigation displays. But in addition to the ability to withstand the high temperatures, vibrations and other impacts typically associated with automotive environments, such sensors must be long-lasting and highly resistant to dust and dirt, says the company.
