TLE5012BE5020XUMA1

The Infineon Technologies TLE5012BE5020XUMA1 is a GMR-based angle sensor that provides precise 360° angular position sensing. Utilizing Giant Magneto Resistance (GMR) technology, it measures the orientation of an external magnetic field. The sensor offers a 15-bit absolute angle value with a resolution of 0.01°, and outputs sine and cosine values with 16-bit representation. It is qualified for automotive applications and operates over a wide temperature range of -40°C to 150°C (junction temperature). The device supports multiple interfaces including SSC, PWM, and Incremental Interface (IIF), with an SSC interface speed of up to 8 Mbit/s. It is housed in a PG-DSO-8 package and is suitable for surface mount applications.

Key features include a 360° continuous rotation angle measurement, a maximum angle error of 1.0° over its lifetime and temperature range with activated auto-calibration, and a voltage range of 3V to 5.5V. The sensor requires an external magnet, which is not included. Its PRO-SIL™ features support Safety Integrity Level (SIL) requirements with diagnostic functions and status information, including built-in self-test routines and data transmission checks.

Potential applications for the TLE5012B sensor include electrical commutated motors, rotary switches, and general angular sensing in automotive systems like Electric Power Steering (EPS). The sensor is manufactured using 0.25 µm CMOS technology and is RoHS 3 compliant and halogen-free.
