The TLE5012B is a 360° angle sensor that detects the orientation of a magnetic field. This is achieved by measuring sine and cosine angle components with monolithic integrated Giant Magneto Resistance (iGMR) elements. Highly precise angle values are determined over a wide temperature range and a long lifetime using an internal autocalibration algorithm. Data communications are accomplished with a bi-directional Synchronous Serial Communication (SSC) that is SPI-compatible. The absolute angle value and other values are transmitted via SSC or via a Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) Protocol.
