Single-axis linear Hall sensor for position and current sensing
The Texas Instruments DRV5053OAQLPG is a single-axis linear Hall-effect sensor that outputs an analog voltage proportional to the applied magnetic flux density. Its ±73 mT sensing range covers common linear position, rotary angle, and current-sensing applications where a ratiometric voltage output is preferred over a digital interface. With a 20 kHz bandwidth, the sensor tracks fast-changing magnetic fields — suitable for monitoring motor commutation or sensing current in a switching power converter where the ripple frequency exceeds a few kilohertz.
Automotive temperature grade and wide supply range
An engine-bay ECU or transmission controller that sees 105°C on a summer grade still has margin to the upper limit. Temperature-compensated output maintains sensitivity across the full temperature window, so the transfer function (mV/mT) stays stable from cold crank to hot soak.
TO-92-3 package and sourcing posture
Housed in a TO-92-3 (TO-226-3 short body) through-hole package, the DRV5053OAQLPG is a three-lead device with a 2.54 mm pin pitch — breadboard-friendly and easy to hand-assemble for prototypes, while still suitable for wave-solder production runs. Lifecycle status is Active per Texas Instruments.
