Infineon has launched the XENSIV™ TLI5590-A6W magnetic position sensor. The sensor is qualified for industrial and consumer applications and is ideal for linear and angular incremental position detection, including the positioning of lenses for zoom and focus adjustment in cameras.
The TLI5590-A6W is a testament to Infineon’s commitment to advancing sensor technology. As a low field sensor equipped with Infineon TMR technology, originally developed for high-volume sensor systems, it boasts outstanding attributes that set it apart. The sensor exhibits an unparalleled level of sensitivity, minimal jitter, and remarkable energy efficiency, all vital aspects in today’s demanding applications. Compared to traditional linear Hall sensors, TMR sensors, like the TLI5590-A6W, offer superior linearity, reduced noise, and minimal hysteresis, elevating performance while enabling cost-effective magnetic designs with lower power consumption.
The TLI5590-A6W excels in detecting rapidly changing directions with precision, thanks to its innovative design. Comprising two TMR Wheatstone bridges, the sensor’s TMR resistance varies based on the direction and strength of the external magnetic field. Paired with a multipole magnet, each bridge produces a differential output signal, delivering sine and cosine signals. These signals can be skillfully processed to provide accurate relative position measurements, ensuring the seamless operation of your equipment.
Encased in an impressively compact 6-ball wafer-level package (SG-WFWLB-6-3), the TLI5590-A6W represents a leap forward in sensor miniaturization. This reduction in size, facilitated by higher integration density, caters to the growing trend of miniaturization in various industries while facilitating precise position detection within microsystems. With its astounding accuracy, achieving levels better than 10 µm when paired with a suitable linear or rotary magnetic encoder, this sensor is perfectly suited for applications where precision is paramount.
The TLI5590-A6W’s versatility knows no bounds. With an extended operating temperature range of up to +125°C, it seamlessly adapts to diverse industrial and consumer applications. Its robust performance and high-temperature stability make it an ideal choice even in the most challenging environments, ensuring unwavering reliability.
In closing, the XENSIV™ TLI5590-A6W magnetic position sensor marks a significant milestone in sensor technology. It combines a rich heritage of magnetic position sensing expertise with state-of-the-art TMR technology, setting new standards in precision linear and angular incremental position detection. Its qualifications for industrial and consumer applications, as per the JEDEC standard JESD47K, solidify its position as a compelling alternative to optical encoders and resolvers. Whether in camera technology or various other applications, this sensor promises unmatched precision and performance.
