What this 3-axis Hall sensor does on the board
The Infineon TLE493DP2B6A0HTSA1 is a 3-axis Hall-effect magnetic sensor that measures magnetic flux density along X, Y, and Z axes simultaneously, outputting 12-bit digital values over an I²C interface.
Package and mounting — fits a standard TSOT-23-6 footprint
The sensor comes in a PG-TSOP6-6-8 package, which is a thin SOT-23-6 variant. It is surface-mount, so it reflows with the rest of the board.
Automotive qualification and temperature grade
AEC-Q100 qualification means this part has passed the stress tests automotive OEMs require: high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, ESD, and latch-up. The -40°C to 125°C junction temperature range covers engine bay and transmission environments. If you are sourcing for a production automotive program, this qualification is the gate the part clears — no separate waiver needed.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
Infineon lists this part as Active in production, ROHS3 compliant. For a BOM line that needs a qualified automotive magnetic sensor, this part is a straightforward fit.
