Measure angles with precision magnetic sensors which compensate for thermal drift
The tunnel magneto resistor (TMR) technology in the Littelfuse LF53464 and LF53466 omnipolar magnetic angle sensors enables precise measurement and compensates for thermal drift.
To deliver high performance in demanding temperatures and environments these magnetic angle sensors measure from 0 to 360° with an X and Y axis sensing direction, and adjust for variation in the ambient temperature.
Output voltage can be up to 65% of the supply voltage, and the LF53464 angle sensor features a dual-axis, orthogonal push-pull Wheatstone bridge architecture, in which each bridge integrates four high-sensitivity TMR elements. The strong signal output reduces the need for external amplification or for an additional circuit to handle processing.
When a magnet is positioned above the sensor to create a magnetic field parallel to the chip surface, the dual-axis output produces voltage signals in a sine/cosine relationship which is proportional to the angle of the magnetic field.
Offering differential output, the LF53464 saves space with a compact LGA8L package which measures 3mm x 3mm x 0.75mm.
By maintaining an angular error of less than 0.8° over a magnetic field of 200 to 800 Gauss, the LF53466 enables exceptional accuracy and thermal stability. Offering two bridges in a compact TSSOP8 package, the LF53466 features three-phase alignment with UVW output channels which match the phases of standard AC or brushless motor winding.
