Abstract

See full text

A sensor system for detecting position of a target member relative to a receiving member is disclosed. The sensor system includes a circuit board. The circuit board includes a first and second inductive coils configured to generate first and a second inductive signals, respectively, in response to a movement between the target member relative to the receiving member. The circuit board includes an inductive sensing unit configured to generate first and digital signals based on the first and second inductive signals, respectively. The circuit board includes a processing unit configured to generate an output indicative of the movement between the target member and the receiving member based on a ratio or difference between the first and second digital signals. The sensor system further includes a housing assembly structured and arranged to encase the circuit board. The housing assembly is coupled to one of the target member and the receiving member.
