Vertical sensor for rotation direction and speed detection

摘要

Infineon Technologies AG has announced the TLE4966V, a vertical dual-Hall sensor for detecting rotation direction and speed. The unit is said to be the first dual-Hall device with its integrated Hall plates oriented vertically and not horizontally on the chip surface, thus making it sensitive to magnetic fields with in-plane direction. This 90° orientation change provides flexibility to fit designs into space-constrained areas.
