SmartSens PNI ASIC
The PNI (11096) ASIC is a low cost magnetic measurement Application Specific Integrated Ciruit designed for use with PNI's magneto-inductive sensors. The PNI ASIC can control and measure three independent magneto-inductive sensors. Each sensor is individually selectable for measurement, and can also be individually configured for measurement resolution. The PNI ASIC has diagnostic modes and outputs to test the oscillator and counter circuits. The bipolar differential measurement scheme used by the PNI ASIC makes the magnetic measurement inherently temperature independent. It also has the benefit of transforming the measurement range into a zero centered, positive/negative value.
