TLE493D-A1B6 – INFINEON

The Infineon TLE493D-A1B6 is a 3D magnetic sensor capable of precise measurement of magnetic fields in all three spatial dimensions (X, Y, and Z). It utilizes a robust Triaxis Hall sensor principle, providing accurate and stable readings even in harsh environments. The sensor features a digital output via a 2-wire standard I2C interface, simplifying integration with microcontrollers. Its output voltage rating is 3.3V, and each channel can source or sink up to 5mA. Housed in a small PG-TSOP6-6 SMD package, it is ideal for space-constrained applications. The TLE493D-A1B6 operates reliably across a wide temperature range from –40°C to 125°C. Common use cases include joystick position sensing, automotive applications like steering angle measurement, and industrial automation for precise motion control. Its low power consumption and superior accuracy compared to traditional Hall switches offer significant advantages in power-sensitive and high-precision circuit designs.
