3 Description
The TMAG5231 is a 2nd-generation, low-power Halleffect
switch sensor, specifically designed to optimize
the total system cost for compact, battery-operated
consumer and industrial applications.
When the applied magnetic flux density exceeds the
operating point (BOP) threshold, the device outputs a
low voltage. The output stays low until the flux density
decreases to less than the release point (BRP), and
then the device outputs a high voltage. Omnipolar
magnetic response allows the output to be sensitive
to both north and south magnetic fields.
The TMAG5231 is able to operate at very low current
consumption. To achieve 2 μA of current consumption
the device is internally power cycled at a 20-Hz rate.
The TMAG5231 is available in the industry-standard
package and pinout SOT-23 as well as X2SON.
The device operates at a VCC range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V
as well as an extended temperature range of –40°C to
125°C.
