Article Can the ADAF1080-3EBZ measure the magnetic field strength and polarity of a magnet and output an analog signal for PLC processing?

For this application, the EVAL-ADAF1080SDZ single sensor evaluation kit for the ADAF1080 is recommended. This kit allows for the direct measurement of an analog output from the ADAF1080 sensor, which can determine both the polarity and field strength of a dipole permanent magnet. The output voltage will increase or decrease based on the polarity of the magnet, the magnetic field strength, and the state of the FLIP_DRV pin as described in the datasheet. The customer will need to establish the relationship between the measured field strength and the magnet's location relative to the sensor.
