Overview
The TLE5012 is a 360° angle sensor that detects the orientation of a magnetic field by measuring sine and cosine angle components with monolithic integrated Giant Magneto Resistance (iGMR) elements.
Highly precise angle values are maintained at various temperatures throughout the device’s lifetime using an internal autocalibration algorithm.
Data communications are accomplished with a bi-directional Synchronous Serial (SSC)-Interface that is Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)-compatible.
