Robust and most smallest hall sensors from Infineon for multiple applications

Infineon Technologies has launched Hall Sensors family TLE496x in a small package (SOT23) of dimension 2.9 x 1.3 x 1.0 mm. These sensors consume a low current of less than 1.6mA, they can also withstand a high operating voltage up to 32V. Additional features provided by the TLE496x product family are enhanced turn-on, reset, and turn-off characteristics. Typical applications for the TLE496x family are position measurements, brush less motor commutation, and index counting. The unipolar and bipolar switches or latches of the TLE496x family are used e.g. in window lifts, sunroofs, boot locks, windscreen wipers, safety belts, camshafts, gearshift levers, and a wide range of industrial BLDC motors. TLE496x family eliminate the need for any external resistors. Depending on the application they also do not require a pre-resistor or a TVS protection diode. TLE496x feature high ESD robustness (8kV human body model or HBM) and the precise and stable magnetic switching points, they are suggested as ideal choice for high precision applications requiring robust solutions. TLE496x products feature integrated error compensation that counteracts the effects of mechanical and thermal stress. The outputs are protected against over currents and over temperatures. The Hall Sensor TLE496x family is currently made up of three series: TLE4961, TLE4964, and TLE4968. All derivatives...
