What this sensor does and where it fits
The Texas Instruments DRV5056A1QLPGM is a single-axis Hall effect sensor that outputs an analog voltage proportional to the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the package face. It is temperature-compensated to maintain stable sensitivity across the -40°C to 125°C operating range, making it suitable for industrial position sensing, current-sense modules, and automotive under-hood environments where the ambient temperature swings wide. The 20 kHz bandwidth captures fast field changes—think PWM-driven solenoid current or high-speed linear displacement—without excessive roll-off.
Supply flexibility and output drive
The DRV5056A1QLPGM accepts either a 3 V to 3.63 V rail or a 4.5 V to 5.5 V rail. The analog output is ratiometric to the supply. Maximum output current is 1 mA. Supply current maxes at 10 mA.
Lifecycle and compliance
This part carries an Active lifecycle status from Texas Instruments, with no announced last-time-buy or end-of-life notice at the time of writing. It is ROHS3 compliant, so it meets the EU RoHS directive for lead-free soldering and material restrictions. No AEC-Q100 qualification is listed in the record, so for automotive-grade requirements verify the specific qualification against your customer's PPAP expectations.
