Infineon TLE5501E0001XUMA1 XENSIV™ angle sensor

The new XENSIV™ TLE5501 angle sensor family is a milestone: Infineon is the first supplier in the market to achieve the highest automotive functional safety grade ASIL D for angle sensors with only one single sensor chip.

The TLE5501 is a 360° TMR-based angle sensor that detects the orientation of a magnetic field. This is achieved by measuring sine and cosine angle components with Tunneling Magneto Resistance (TMR) elements. These raw signals (sine and cosine) are provided as a differential output signal and can directly be further processed within a micro controller.

Key features

• Discrete bridge with differential sine and cosine output
• Very low supply current: ~2 mA
• Magnetic field range (20 mT to 100 mT)
• Typ. angle error ~ 1.0 ° (over temperature and lifetime)

Additional features

• Large output signals of up to 0.37 V/V for direct micro controller connection
• DSO-8 package
• Pin compatible to TLE5009
• Cost benefit as no internal amplifier needed due to the TMR technology’s high sensing sensitivity
• Cost benefit due to TMR technology’s very low temperature drift reducing external calibration and compensation efforts
• Very low current consumption, which is as low as 2 mA for TLE5501
• Cost-efficient drop-in for applications using the pin-compatible established Infineon TLE5009

Applications

• Steering Angle Sensor (SAS)
• Top column module & gear selector
• BLDC motor commutation (e.g. wipers, pumps and actuators)
• Angular Position Sensing
• Electric Motors
• Industrial Applications like Automation, Robotics or Gimbal
