DRV5056: does response depend on component 'orientation' ?

Part Number: DRV5056

Hello, 

we are currently designing our PCB layout which include some DRV5056 sensors.

I wonder if the output of sensors will be significantly different if sensors are positioned differently on the PCBA

As depicted below

My feeling (from datasheet) is no, assuming exciting magnet is positioned identically wrt both sensors...but if someone from TI could confirm, it would be great...

Thanks

Best regards

Vincent

  • Hello Vincent,

    Thanks for considering to use Texas Instruments.   There should not be a big difference, but technically if you are very precise with your placement and soldering, you could see some difference due to tolerance of the hall element placement within the package as indicated by the the diagram below taken from figure 31 of the datasheet.
