Magnetic position sensors for highest energy efficiency and

functional safety in Electric Power Steering (EPS)

Position sensor applications in EPS are safety-related with

the highest safety level. The ISO 26262 standard sets high

requirements for the diagnostic coverage of random fail-

ures and the avoidance of systematic failures in order to

reach the highest safety rating on system level resulting in

a safety classification of the category ASIL D.

These demanding specifications can typically be achieved

by using redundant sensors as well as comparing their

signals in a microcontroller.

Compared to conventional hydraulic power steering solu-

tions, Electric Power Steering (EPS) enables higher energy

efficiency, increased steering functionality and reduced

space requirements in passenger vehicles.

Infineon offers dual-sensor solutions with two redundant

sensors in the place of one for all position sensor

applications in EPS. Our dual-sensor package integrates

two magnetic position sensors with separate supply pins

and separate signal outputs. They are electrically indepen-

dent thanks to galvanic isolation. This means that the two

sensors work independently, thereby increasing system

reliability.

The functionality of EPS is based on several system-side

position sensors, that measure the steering torque input

from the driver, the rotor position of the EPS motor, that

moves the steering rack and the steering wheel’s absolute

position.
