Magnetoresistive linear position sensor

摘要

A sensor method and system for detecting linear position is disclosed. At least one sensing bridge circuit can be configured from at least two separate sensing bridges that share a common geometrical center and are rotated from one another to provide signal offsets thereof. At least one magnet has a north pole and a south pole thereof, such that the sensing bridge circuit is disposed a particular distance from the magnet to provide sinusoidal shaped signals, which can be utilized to determine travel and, thus, a linear position associated with the magnet.
