A sensing device for a digital linear position sensor is disclosed. The sensing device may have a mounting device including a mounting surface. The sensing device may also have a plurality of resistors mounted on the mounting surface. The plurality of resistors may be electrically connected between a first voltage node (Uin) and a second voltage node (GND). Further, the sensing device may have a plurality of Hall switches mounted on the mounting surface at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the mounting device. Each of the plurality of Hall switches may be configured to adjust a total resistance of the plurality of resistors between the first voltage node (Uin) and the second voltage node (GND) upon actuation by an applied magnetic field.
