onsemi STR-NCS32100-GEVK Evaluation Kit
onsemi STR-NCS32100-GEVK Evaluation Kit provides hardware and a PCB rotary sensor for a full demonstration of the NCS32100 sensor. The NCS32100 sensor is connected to a fully functional PCB rotary sensor capable of sensing positions with an accuracy of <±50arcsec. This NCS32100 sensor features interfaces with up to 8 inductive coils and supports low-power battery mode. The NCS32100 evaluation board houses a master MCU that is programmed to communicate with the NCS32100 sensor over the RS485 interface. This NCS32100 sensor is used in rotary position encoding, printing, precision instrumentation, automation, and robotics applications.Features
