TDE0160FP

Sensor And Detector Interfaces Overview

The TDE0160 is a proximity detector designed to identify metal bodies through the effect of eddy currents on high-frequency coil losses. It features two complementary open-collector outputs with peak limiting and adjustable hysteresis, alongside an electronic switching circuit for disabling both outputs. An internal zener diode maintains supply voltage during dipole operation. The device operates within a supply voltage range of +4 V to +36 V and consumes less than 1.2 mA of current. It supports loss resistance values between 5 kΩ and 50 kΩ and functions at oscillator frequencies below 1 MHz.
