TMAG5170D-Q1: Each sensor die Bx~Bz direction and absmax of BX~Bz?

Part Number: TMAG5170D-Q1

Hi team, 

(1) Are bottom and top sensor die Bx~Bz's ADC code direction same such shown in " Magnetic Flux Direction" descriptoin?

(2) Does it have Bmax value for getting damage inside? datasheet absmax shows unlimited, meaing that there is no limitation for damaging the device? For example, we use A2 version with Bx=150mTmax configuration, then Bx=400mT is applied to the sensor. Then the sensor cannot recognise exact Bx but no damage to the sensor, is it correct?

Regards,
Ochi

  • Hello Ochi, 

    1. Both the top and bottom sensor have the same ADC code directions as shown in figure 8-1 of the datasheet. 
    2. This is correct. While the output code will saturate, the device will not be damaged from the large applied magnetic field.
