ABSTRACT:
A sensing method continuously scans an array of sensing elements and determines positions by converting array peak amplitude information to a time based function. An array of magneto resistive elements responds to a relatively moving magnetic field. The process of scanning the magneto resistive elements is independent of the relatively moving magnetic field. Instead of using only one voltage source to power both the driving logic circuitry and the sensing element array, a separate voltage source for powering the sensing element array is used in conjunction with the solid switch array, thus excluding unwanted noise that originates in the driving logic circuitry.
