3 Description

The DRV5055-Q1 is a linear Hall effect sensor that

responds proportionally to magnetic flux density. The

device can be used for accurate position sensing in a

wide range of applications.

The device operates from 3.3V or 5V power supplies.

When no magnetic field is present, the analog output

drives half of VCC. The output changes linearly

with the applied magnetic flux density, and various

sensitivity options enable maximal output voltage

swing based on the required sensing range. North

and south magnetic poles produce unique voltages.

Magnetic flux perpendicular to the top of the package

is sensed, and the two package options provide

different sensing directions.

The device uses a ratiometric architecture that can

eliminate error from VCC tolerance when the external

analog-to-digital converter (ADC) uses the same VCC

for its reference. Additionally, the device features

magnet temperature compensation to counteract how

magnets drift for linear performance across a wide –

40°C to +150°C temperature range.
