Programmable Hall Effect Sensing Element - for Camshaft Crankshaft Position Sensors

摘要

The programmable Hall Effect Sensing Element developed by Continental allows measuring camshaft and crankshaft positions precisely. This is essential for modern cars designing clean vehicles with increased engine power efficiency and minimized fuel consumption. The high flexibility of the sensing element programming allows adapting the sensor to all customer requirements and various engine environments. The sensing element is particularly robust against temperature variations during stop-start and target wheel vibrations at power-up by preventing any wrong calibration then. The choice of the application and programming of associated parameters is done at the End-of-Line thanks to a dedicated communication protocol and an embedded EEPROM.
