Camshaft Position Sensors
Allegro provides fully integrated camshaft position sensors for EMC protection and true power on state (TPOS). Our high accuracy TPOS performance across installation air gaps allows engines to start faster and run more efficiently.
Featured Products
ATS675
The ATS675 is the next generation of the Allegro True Power-On State (TPOS) sensor IC family, offering improved accuracy compared to prior generations. The ATS675 provides absolute zero-speed performance and TPOS information.
ATS679
The ATS679LSL is a True Power-On State camshaft sensor incorporating a non-rare-earth back-biasing magnet, advanced fully synchronous digital IC, and EMC protection circuit all in a single sensing solution.
ATS601
The ATS601LSG is a single element, defined power–on state, sensor IC, it provides first falling edge detection, high running mode edge accuracy, and direction/orientation insensitivity over the full operating range of air gap, speed, and temperature.
