Abstract: The multiple redundancy position sensor device intended for detecting the position of a shifter lever in a shifter device, comprises a first magnetic sensor and a second magnetic sensor facing the first magnetic sensor, one of the sensors being a dual die magnetic sensor. A polarized magnet is arranged between the sensors such that the polarized magnet can be rotated with at least one degree of freedom. A signal based on the angular position of the polarized magnet relative to the first magnetic sensor and the second magnetic sensor corresponding to a shifter lever position is output to control a vehicle transmission.

Abstract: The shifter assembly comprises a shifter lever that can be moved according to a first movement to perform shift operations involving changing gearshift positions for controlling a vehicle transmission in at least one mode of operation, and according to a second movement to perform select operations to change between at least two different modes of operation, and a sensing unit comprising a magnetic sensor to detect both rotational and displacement movements of at least one magnet to identify whether shift or select operations are being performed by the shifter lever. The magnet is arranged to perform a rotational movement relative to the magnetic sensor according to one of the first or second movements of the shifter lever, and to perform a displacement movement relative to the magnetic sensor according to the other of the movements of the shifter lever.
