3 Description

The TMAG5170D-Q1 is a dual-die high-precision

linear 3D Hall-effect sensor designed for a wide range

of automotive and industrial applications. The high

level of integration offers flexibility and accuracy in

a variety of position sensing systems. This device

features 3 independent Hall sensors at X, Y, and Z

axes.

A precision signal-chain along with an integrated 12-

bit ADC enables high accuracy and low drift magnetic

field measurements while supporting a sampling of

up to 20 kSPS. On-chip temperature sensor data is

available for system-level drift compensation.

Integrated angle calculation engine (CORDIC)

provides full 360° angular position information for both

on-axis and off-axis angle measurement topologies.

The angle calculation is performed using two

user-selected magnetic axes. The device features

magnetic gain and offset correction to mitigate the

impact of system mechanical error sources.

The TMAG5170D-Q1 can be configured through

the SPI to enable any combination of magnetic

axes and temperature measurements. Multiple sensor

conversion schemes and SPI read frames help

optimize throughput and accuracy. A dedicated

ALERT pin can act as a system interrupt during low

power wake-up and sleep mode, and can also be

used by a microcontroller to trigger a new sensor

conversion.
