3 Description

The DRV5057-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 3.3-V or 5-V power

supplies. When no magnetic field is present, the

output produces a clock with a 50% duty cycle. The

output duty cycle changes linearly with the applied

magnetic flux density, and four sensitivity options

maximize the output dynamic range based on the

required sensing range. North and south magnetic

poles produce unique outputs. The typical pulse-width

modulation (PWM) carrier frequency is 2 kHz.

Magnetic flux perpendicular to the top of the package

is sensed, and the two package options provide

different sensing directions.

Because the PWM signal is based on edge-to-edge

timing, signal integrity is maintained in the presence

of voltage noise or ground potential mismatch. This

signal is suitable for distance transmission in noisy

environments, and the always-present clock allows

the system controller to confirm there are good

interconnects. 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.
