New Scale Technologies, Inc. ~ www.news caletech. com ~ Phone (585) 924-4450 The TRACKER™ NSE-5310 position sensor is a magnetic sensor array with integrated on-chip digital encoding. With smallest size, 0.5 ìm resolution and low sensitivity to external magnetic fields, this miniature position sensor is a robust and cost-effective solution for precision positioning. On-chip encoding provides direct digital output using standard I2C protocol, eliminating the need for external pulse counters. Efficient control system communications allows up to two TRACKER position sensors for a single I2C bus. The highest-resolution magnetic encoder available, the TRACKER position sensor is insensitive to light, shock, vibration, and highparticulate environments. Ideal for miniature optical, medical systems The TRACKER NSE-5310 position sensor is ideal for optical and imaging applications such as focus and optical image stabilization as well as applications in consumer electronics, precision biomedical devices, industrial instrumentation and defense/security. Its small size makes it perfect for creating tiny, integrated closed-loop motion systems using micro motors such as New Scale’s SQUIGGLE® motor. System overview The TRACKER NSE-5310 magnetic encoder achieves its precision through a linear array of eight Hall-effect sensors on the chip that measure the spatially varying magnetic field produced by moving a multi-pole magnetic strip above the sensor. The TRK-1T02-E evaluation pack includes a TRACKER NSE-5310 mounted in a TSSOP 20 package with flex cable and a suitable linear magnetic strip, a MC-31MB interface card and New Scale Pathway™ software to facilitate evaluation. The system can be connected to your computer using a USB interface providing direct position information to your application. TRACKER NSE-5310 in TSSOP or dice-on-foil packaging is available. Custom TRACKER packaging such as wafer-level chip scale packaging and chip-on-board packaging can also be provided for qualified OEMs. Minimum order quantities may apply.
