The DRV5032 device is an ultra-low-power digital switch Hall-effect sensor, designed for the most compact and battery-sensitive systems. The device is offered in multiple magnetic thresholds, sampling rates, output drivers, and packages to accommodate various applications. Table 2-1 (from the data sheet) shows a comparison between the different DRV5032 device variants.

Figure 2-5 shows the direction of sensitivity for the different DRV5032 device variants. When the applied magnetic flux density exceeds the BOP threshold, the device outputs a low voltage. The output stays low until the flux density decreases to less than BRP, and then the output either drives a high voltage or becomes high impedance, depending on the device version. By incorporating an internal oscillator, the device samples the magnetic field and updates the output at a rate of 20 Hz, or 5 Hz for the lowest current consumption. Omnipolar and unipolar magnetic responses are available.
In the design, the X2SON package of the DRV5032DU is used for the wake-up (U1) and stray field sensors (U2). This device variant is selected for both of these sensors because it was unipolar and had both a positive-responding and negative-responding output. In addition, the 3.9-mT BOP threshold works well for the selected magnet and magnet to sensor distances used in this design.
The SOT-23 package of the DRV5032FA is selected for the U3 and U4 tamper switches. This device is selected for the following reasons:
