Abstract
An absolute position sensor with serial reading, that includes at least one detector capable of detecting transitions in a target pattern present on a member mobile relative to the detector. The sensor includes a shift register capable of storing a predetermined number of consecutive data from the detector, and a mechanism comparing the value of the register to a set of predetermined values each corresponding to a position of the detector relative to the target pattern.
