TA903 ... bare die, DFN and LGA6B

The TA903 consists of two Wheatstone bridges at an angle of 90° to each other. A rotating magnetic field at the sensor level supplies two sine signals with a phase shift of 90° relative to each other with a simple frequency of the magnetic field. As such, the signal information is clear across a 360° rotation of the magnetic field.

The TA903 features PerfectWave technology and delivers extremely low harmonic output signals.

Advantages

  • Absolute 360° end of shaft measurement
  • Measurement on dipole magnet
  • Very compact design (DFN8 and LGA)
  • Broad temperature and magnetic field range
  • Integrated protective diodes in DFN8 and LGA package (4 kV)

TF952 ... as FlipChip

The TF952 is a magnetic field sensor based on the Tunnel MagnetoResistive (TMR) effect. The Sensor contains two Wheatstone bridges. This allows the measurement of two magnetic field directions (X and Y) in parallel.

The sensor is ideal for measuring magnetic fields in a linear range from -20 mT up to 20 mT. A typical application is endpoint detection of pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders.

The TF952 is available as flip-chip for SMD assembly.

Advantages

  • Intelligent end position application
  • Vehr compact design due to FlipChip package
  • Linear characteristic curve in the working range
  • Low drift behaviour over temperature
