The iC-ML consists of four hall sensors arranged in a line and optimized to read out magnetic tapes with 2.56 mm pole spacing. The integrated signal conditioning unit provides a differential sine/cosine signal at the output.
With the aid of the integrated 8-bit sine/digital converter the travelling distance within a magnetic periode is determined from the sine/cosine signals. This is output via an incremental interface in a number of selectable resolutions.
