The DRV5053VAQDBZT is a single-axis analog-output Hall-effect sensor from Texas Instruments, rated for automotive environments per AEC-Q100. It outputs an analog voltage proportional to the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the package face, with a linear sensing range of ±9 mT. The 20 kHz bandwidth supports fast-changing fields — useful for current-sense applications with switching frequencies up to several kilohertz, or for position sensing in motor-commutation feedback where the pole-pass frequency stays below the sensor's -3 dB corner. Supply voltage spans 2.5 V to 38 V, so it can run directly off a 5 V or 12 V automotive rail without an extra regulator. Maximum supply current is 3.6 mA, and the analog output can source up to 2.3 mA into an ADC input or a microcontroller pin.
The SOT-23-3 package (TO-236-3 / SC-59) is a three-lead surface-mount footprint common in space-constrained sensor modules.
Texas Instruments continues to manufacture this base product number (DRV5053) in the SOT-23-3 package. The part is ROHS3 compliant.
SOT-23-3 (also referred to as TO-236-3 or SC-59) is a three-lead package with a 0.95 mm lead pitch. The centre lead is the output, the left lead (pin 1) is the supply, and the right lead is ground — confirm the pinout from the datasheet before laying out the PCB. The small footprint allows placement close to the magnet or current-carrying conductor, minimising the air gap and improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
