Introduction
The 3D magnetic sensor TLV493D-A1B6 offers accurate three-dimensional sensing
with extremely low power consumption in a small 6-pin package.
With its magnetic field detection in x, y, and z-direction the sensor reliably
measures three-dimensional, linear and rotation movements. Applications include
joysticks, control elements (white goods, multifunction knops), or electric meters
(anti tampering) and any other application that requires accurate angular
measurements or low power consumptions.
The integrated temperature sensor can furthermore be used for plausibility
checks.
Key features are 3D magnetic sensing with a very low
power consumption during operations. The sensor has a
digital output via 2-wire based standard I2C interface up
to 1 MBit/sec and 12 bit data resolution for each
measurement direction (Bx, By and Bz linear field
measurement up to +-130mT).
