ADVANCE INFORMATION
The TMAG5233 is a Hall-effect switch used to detect the proximity of a magnet, which is often attached to a movable component within the system. When the magnet comes sufficiently close to the sensor and induces a magnetic flux density that exceeds the BOP threshold along the TMAG5233 axis of sensitivity, the output of the sensor is pulled low to GND. This low output can be read by a GPIO pin on a controller, enabling the system to recognize that the magnet has crossed the threshold, thereby indicating the position or movement of the component. This application is common in various fields, such as industrial automation and consumer electronics, where precise detection of position or movement is critical.
