3 Glossary of Terms

•

Gauss (G), Tesla (T): Magnetic flux density units where 1 mT = 10 G.

•

Tria is

of Hall effect sensors able to sense the flux density along the 3 axis (i.e. X, Y & Z). In

particular, it enables the realization of position sensors able to sense the magnetic flux

density parallel to the IC surface and consequently the magnetic vector over 360 degrees.

•

IMC: Integrated Magneto Concentrator. It concentrates the magnetic flux lines and bends

them at the extremity under the planar Hall plates. Furthermore, it provides some magnetic

gain factor.

4 Absolute Maximum Ratings

Parameter.

Units

+ 6 V

Reverse Voltage Protection

- 0.5 V

Operating Temperature Range TA

-40 to +125 Deg.C.

Storage Temperature Range, TS

-40 to +150 Deg.C.

Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to

absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
