Digital output magnetic sensors from Toshiba

Devices in the new family are available as single- or dual-detection solutions. While the single type is designed to detect either north- or south-pole the dual type detects both north and south poles. Supplied in a UFV package, each sensor has dimensions of just 2.0mm x 2.1mm x 0.7mm.

The new sensors use a pulsed current rather than continuous current operation to keep typical average supply current down to just 5.5µA. All of the devices offer high sensitivity - typical operating point (BON) and release point (BOFF) magnetic flux density ratings are 1.8mT and 0.8mT respectively.

Toshiba’s TCS10xxx devices are based on a CMOS Hall sensor solution and are available with push-pull and open drain output configuration.
