It allows non-contacting position sensors to be built using conventional PCB technology. This means…
The moving part is marked with a target, including an inductor-capacitor resonator. Resonant inductive sensing allows big gaps between sensor and target, and substantial misalignments are possible before impacting performance, which means…
CambridgeIC develops and sells processor ICs, which connect to sensors and report the position of the moving target to a host processor with high precision and accuracy. The CAM204 and CAM312 chips can connect to more than one sensor, so only a single chip is needed for processing multiple sensors. This helps further reduce cost in a system requiring feedback from more than one sensor.
CambridgeIC has a library of standard sensor designs available, including linear, rotary and arc form factors. Sensors are absolute, so that no homing or refence mark is required. Samples available to buy for evaluation and prototyping.

Bosch chose CambridgeIC products for sensing rotary position inside their MIC 7000i, MIC 9000i and Autodome 7000i Pan and Tilt surveillance cameras.
CambridgeIC’s team started developing resonant inductive position sensing technology in 1995. We design sensors that are built from PCBs, which makes them precise, robust, suited to harsh environments and cost effective.
TURCK is a leading manufacturer in the field of industrial automation. We have partnered with TURCK to deliver a range of position sensing products for this market.
TDK Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers of electronic components in the world and provide the EPCOS targets that work with our resonant inductive position sensors.
Founded in 2007, CambridgeIC has developed single chip processors and a set of standard sensor designs and integration tools. These help customers embed resonant inductive sensing inside their products, by drawing on modular and well proven components.
