TLE5012B E1000

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 auto-calibration algorithm.

TLE5012B

Features

  • Giant Magneto Resistance (GMR)-based principle
  • Integrated magnetic field sensing for angle measurement
  • Fully calibrated 0 - 360° angle measurement with revolution counter and angle speed measurement
  • Two separate highly accurate single-bit SD-ADC
  • 15-bit representation of absolute angle value on the output (resolution of 0.01°)
  • 16-bit representation of sine / cosine values on the interface
  • Max. 1.0° angle error over lifetime and temperature range with activated auto-calibration
