Detailed Design Procedure

A standard 2-pole magnet produces strong perpendicular flux components near the outer edges of the poles, and no perpendicular flux near the center at the north-south pole boundary. When the DRV5032FD is below the center of the magnet, it receives close to 0 mT, and both outputs drive high. If the switch with the embedded magnet moves left or right, the sensor receives a north or south field, and OUT1 or OUT2 drive low. This provides 3 digital states of detection.

The length of the magnet should ideally be two times the distance of travel toward each side. Then, when the switch is pushed to either side, the outer edge of the magnet is positioned directly above the sensor where it applies the strongest perpendicular flux component.

To determine the magnitude of magnetic flux density for a given magnet and distance, TI recommends to either use simulation software, test with a linear Hall effect sensor, or test with a gaussmeter.
