TPS280DP - Throttle Position Sensor, Contactless - Dual Output

Throttle position sensors, otherwise known as TPS, are designed to track the throttle position of a vehicle. This sensor is able to closely monitor the throttle as it is typically directly positioned on the butterfly spindle, or shaft, of the vehicle.

  • Electrically interchangeable with potentiometers
  • More than 9x the life of a potentiometer 
  • Extremely low signal noise, for the life of the sensor 
  • Will operate from -40 to +140°C, with excursions to +170°C 
  • Sealed to withstand high-pressure wash-downs (IP69K) 
  • Mechanically interchangeable with potentiometers on 32mm mountings 
  • Standard output is dual channel 
  • Configurable output direction, for left or right fitment 
  • Measurement ranges from 20 to 360° in 1° increments 
  • 12-bit resolution (0.025%) over the angular range 
  • Analog (0.5 - 4.5 or 0.1 - 4.9Vdc) or PWM outputs

Overview

General
 

TPS280DP - Throttle Position Sensor, Contactless - Dual Output

A variant of the popular, contactless rotary throttle positioning sensor range, this dual output throttle position sensor uses a factory programmable non-contact, Hall-effect sensor system.


Design & Performance:

The TPS280DP is designed as a modern alternative throttle positioning sensor, to the rotary potentiometers fitted on a high-performance race car and motorcycle induction systems. It replaces a potentiometer as it will eliminate premature failure due to electrical noise – caused by potentiometer wear. The TPS280DP is life tested to 30-million cycles (60 million operations), more than NINE TIMES that of a potentiometer in this application.

Design options:

  • 200 or 500mm cable lengths  

  • Sealing to IP69K, able to withstand high-pressure wash-downs 

  • Operates from 5Vdc (and 9-30Vdc) 

  • Connector: Not fitted (C0) or Mini Sure Seal MSS4R fitted (C1) 

  • Factory programmed to allow a wide range of configurations 

  • Output direction: Both clockwise, both anticlockwise and one CW, one ACW 

The TPS280DP is mechanically interchangeable with most existing throttle position sensors using 32mm mounting centers and is designed to interface with the most common throttle body D-type spindles.


Mechanical & Electrical Specification:

The TPS280DP provides contactless technology with a range of electrical features and output options.

Electrical Features:

  • Supply voltage Vdc: 9 to 30 (unregulated) and 5 ±0.5 (regulated) 

  • Over voltage protection Vdc: Up to 40 (-40 to +60°C) 

  • Maximum supply current mA: <25 

  • Reverse polarity protection: Yes 

  • Output to GND: Yes 

  • Output to supply: In 5V regulated mode only 

  • Power-on settlement time S:<1 

  • Resolution: % 0.025 of measurement range (12 bit) 

  • Non-linearity: * % <±0.4 

  • Temperature coefficient ppm/°C <±30 in 5V supply mode: <±90 in 9-30V supply mode 

  • *Non-linearity is measured using the Least-Squares method on a computerized calibration system 


OEM Options:

Outputs can be programmed to provide non-linear laws; switch outputs; clamp voltages; different output phasing CH1/CH2; faster input/output delay; extended analogue range; and output mapping for potentiometer replacements.
