Renesas IPS2200

The IPS2200 is an industrial qualified, inductive position sensor IC capable of providing the absolute rotor position as sine and cosine. This IC uses the physical principle of Eddy currents to detect the position of a simple metallic target moving above a set of coils, consisting of one TX and two RX. The IPS2200 can be used for high-speed motor commutation up to 250krpm electrical, in industrial, medical, robotic, and consumer applications. Stray filed immunity, lower weight, smaller size, and substantial BOM optimization, make the IPS2200 an ideal alternative for resolver replacement.
