What this Hall latch does and where it fits
The TLE49612MXTSA1 is an Infineon Hall-effect latch from the Automotive AEC-Q100 series, designed for magnetic position sensing in harsh environments. It switches on when a south-pole field exceeds 7.3 mT and releases at -7.3 mT, with temperature-compensated thresholds to maintain accuracy across the -40°C to 170°C junction range.
Sensing thresholds and temperature range
The latch's 7.3 mT operate point and -7.3 mT release point give a 14.6 mT hysteresis band, preventing output chatter near the switch threshold. The 170°C junction rating means this part can sit next to a motor winding or exhaust valve without derating — a spec that separates it from commercial-grade Hall switches that top out at 85°C or 125°C.
