Throttle Position Sensor
Introduction
Melexis have multiple hall effect IC. In automotive EV/ IC Engine segment multiple customers considering hall effect technology to position sense application. Most famous application is hand throttle position sensing. Melexis IC sense hand throttle rotation position and gives ratiometry Analog/ PMW/ SENT output. According to magnet position in front of sensor, output voltage can program using Melexis programmer GUI.
Beyond the engineering, performance, and regulatory-compliance aspects of handle throttle, there is the consideration of the various ways they are designed and arranged on a handlebar of vehicle.
