High volume, low cost and highly rugged, feature packed designs are necessary to win. This automotive steering angle sensor can sense high-resolution angle displacement of 1400 degrees of rotation and beyond.
Orchid Technologies combines cost sensitive engineering with precision analog electronics to craft high-performing, stable, sensing electronics. Ease of calibration together with reduced cost electronics requires skill and ingenuity. Orchid provided a number of electronic hardware assembly options, allowing our client the opportunity to tune sensor performance for reduced-cost applications or high- precision applications.
Orchid selected a Freescale HC08 class microcontroller as the brain of this steering angle sensor. The Freescale HC08's feature-rich complement of flash program store, static RAM, Eeprom, CAN-Bus controller, timers, analog-to-digital conversion circuitry, and robust processor reliability controls make the HC08 a perfect fit in the automotive electronics marketplace. Codewarrior software development adds a world class programming environment to the development process. Well- tuned software libraries provide advanced features such as 64-bit floating point functions and trigonometric functions. Real-time calculation of double precision floating point trigonometric functions was rapidly accomplished by the Freescale HC08 microcontroller.
