Target Applications
The TLE4946-2K is an integrated circuit Hall-effect sensor with low switching thresholds and low hysteresis which
make it ideally suited to detect the rotor position in a BLDC motor commutation application.

Functional Description
2.1
General
Precise magnetic switching thresholds and high temperature stability are achieved by active compensation circuits
and chopper techniques on chip. Offset voltages, generated by temperature induced stress or overmolding are
canceled and high accuracy is achieved. The IC has an open collector output stage with 20mA current sink
capability. A wide operating voltage range form 2.7V to 18V with reverse polarity protection up to -18V makes the
device suitable for a wide range of applications. A magnetic south pole with field strength above B
op
turns the
output on and a magnetic north pole exceeding B
rp
turns it off.

Functional Block Description
The chopped Hall IC switch comprises a Hall probe, bias generator, compensation circuits, oscillator and output
transistor.
The bias generator provides currents for the Hall probe and the active circuits. Compensation circuits stabilize the
temperature behavior and reduce technology variations.
The Active Error Compensation rejects offsets in signal stages and the influence of mechanical stress to the Hall
probe caused by molding and soldering processes and other thermal stresses in the package.
This chopper technique together with the threshold generator and the comparator ensure high accurate magnetic
switching points

Attention: Stresses above the max. values listed here may cause permanent damage to the device.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability. Maximum ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding only one of these values may
cause irreversible damage to the integrated circuit.

1) To operate the sensor at the max. switching frequency, the value of the magnetic signal amplitude must be 1.4 times higher
than for static fields.
This is due to the - 3 dB corner frequency of the low pass filter in the signal path.
