PRODUCTION DATA
The TMAG5123-Q1 device is a chopper-stabilized Hall sensor with a digital omnipolar switch output for magnetic sensing applications. The TMAG5123-Q1 device can be powered with a supply voltage range between 2.7-V and 38 V, and can withstand –20-V reverse battery conditions continuously. Note that the TMAG5123-Q1 device will not operate when approximately –20-V to 2.7-V is applied to the VCC pin (with respect to GND). In addition, the device can withstand voltages up to 40 V for transient durations.
While most of the Hall-effect sensors switch their output in the presence of a vertical field, the TMAG5123-Q1 will switch the output in the presence of a horizontal field. The TMAG5123-Q1 is then an in-plane or vertical sensor, sensitive to a horizontal or parallel magnetic fields.
The omnipolar configuration allows the Hall sensor to respond to either a south or north pole. A strong magnetic field of either polarity will cause the output to pull low (operate point, BOP), and a weaker magnetic field will cause the output to release (release point, BRP). Hysteresis is included in between the operate and release points, so magnetic field noise will not trip the output accidentally.
An external pullup resistor is required on the OUT pin. The OUT pin can be pulled up to VCC, or to a different voltage supply. This allows for easier interfacing with controller circuits.
