Output Circuit
Voltage output proportional to speed*3
0.5Vp-p or more
Self-generating type using a magnet and detection coil. No power supply required
Approaches gear tips, etc., and outputs a frequency signal proportional to the rotational speed
*1 Semi-open collector (Open collector + Pull-up) is our proprietary output circuit, which allows direct connection even if the pull-up voltage at the signal receiving end is higher than the sensor power supply voltage.
Unlike a simple open collector, it provides pulse output with a voltage close to the sensor power supply voltage.
*2 Differential (balanced) CMOS logic can be used as an unbalanced signal. When using as a balanced signal, please check the power supply voltage and output voltage specifications.
*3 The output voltage of the GP type is theoretically proportional to the speed, but the GP type prevents unnecessary increases in output to improve reliability.
