An inductive-to-digital converter (LDC) senses the change in inductance caused by the movement of a conductive target through the senor’s AC magnetic field. The target movement with respect to the sensor may be either axial or lateral with respect to the plane of the sensor. The characteristics of the sensor, as discussed in the TI application note LDC Sensor Design, determine the characteristics of the sensor’s magnetic field and the overall system measurement resolution and accuracy.
