Abstract
A circuit assembly is provided. The circuit assembly has a transmitter coil and multiple receiver coils for receiving signals induced by a magnetic field generated by the transmitter coil, and also has one or more movable metallic targets for influencing the signals picked up by the receiver coils. The receiver coils has a first receiver coil which is a sine-signal-output receiver coil and a second receiver coil which is a cosine-signal-output receiver coil. The transmitter coil and the first and second receiver coils are displaced from each other to have an open area in which the transmitter coil is present but not the first and second receiver coils, the open area having a predetermined range along a movement path of a first target, such that when the first target moves within the predetermined range, the circuit assembly is operable in a first mode as a low power on-off switch.
