3 Description

The DRV5056-Q1 is a linear Hall-effect sensor that

responds proportionally to flux density of a magnetic

south pole. The device can be used for accurate

position sensing in a wide range of applications.

Featuring a unipolar magnetic response, the analog

output drives 0.6 V when no magnetic field is present,

and increases when a south magnetic pole is applied.

This response maximizes the output dynamic range

in applications that sense one magnetic pole. Four

sensitivity options further maximize the output swing

based on the required sensing range.

The device operates from 3.3-V or 5-V power

supplies. 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

minimize 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.
