Automotive-grade, high-reliability sensing and control chip solutions

RJM4988C · Programmable TPO Camshaft Position Sensor

Chopper-stabilized Hall with True Power-On (TPO) capability, supporting 5 kHz camshaft magnetic field detection. A single-chip integrated capacitor reduces BOM cost and PCB area.

RJM4988C targets engine camshaft position sensing. A chopped Hall scheme measures the speed and phase of a target or pole wheel, with True Power-On (TPO) capability and AUTO TPO support for in-vehicle calibration.

An EEPROM stores algorithm options, the device ID and calibration parameters, and the built-in temperature-compensation data for the relative permeability of magnet material (−40°C ~ 150°C) accommodates different magnet materials and temperature conditions.
