Infineon's 3D magnetic sensor family TLE493D offers accurate three dimensional sensing with extremely low-power consumption. Within its small 6pin package the sensor provides direct measurement of the x, y- and z components of a magnetic field.
By combining 3-axis measurement in a small package, with low power consumption, the TLE493D sensors provide a contactless position sensing alternative to applications which traditionally use mechanical or optical solutions. The system size for these applications can be reduced as magnetic threshold stability over temperature provides a highly accurate and more robust solution for those systems.
Infineon’s sensor provides a standard 2-wire digital I2C communication interface, which enables a bi-directional communication between the sensor and microcontroller.
