Product details
Overview
DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C) ratiometric linear Hall-effect sensor in TO-92 (LPG) package, delivering 50 mV/mT sensitivity at 5 V supply, ±42 mT linear magnetic range, and 20 kHz bandwidth for automotive position sensing. It outputs analog voltage referenced to VCC with VCC/2 quiescent offset and magnet temperature compensation.
For engineers reviewing the DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 datasheet, DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 pinout, DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 application, or DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all grounded in TI's SBAS639E production data sheet.
Technical Context
The DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 implements a fully integrated ratiometric architecture where both quiescent output voltage (VQ = VCC/2 ±1%) and sensitivity scale linearly with supply voltage - enabling error cancellation when paired with an ADC using the same VCC reference. Its internal temperature compensation (STC = 0.12%/°C) actively counteracts neodymium magnet drift across –40°C to +150°C.
It uses a single silicon Hall element located 650 µm ±80 µm from the top surface of the TO-92 package, optimized for magnetic flux perpendicular to the marked side. The device operates in one functional mode with 175–330 µs power-on time and supports wire-break detection via external pull-up resistor without requiring additional ICs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity | 50 mV/mT at 5 V - delivers full-scale output swing over ±42 mT range, maximizing ADC resolution for mid-range position sensing |
| Linear Range | ±42 mT at 5 V - defines usable magnetic field span before output nonlinearity exceeds ±1% error |
| Bandwidth | 20 kHz - supports real-time monitoring of fast-moving components like throttle valves or gear shifters |
| Quiescent Output | VCC/2 ±1% - enables bidirectional sensing with zero-field reference centered in supply rail |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for under-hood automotive environments |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - dual-rail compatibility with 5 V systems; stable operation even with ±10% tolerance |
| Output Drive | ±1 mA - sufficient to drive RC filters or 10 kΩ ADC inputs without buffering |
| Input Noise | 130 nT/√Hz at 5 V - translates to ~0.12 mT peak-to-peak noise in 20 kHz bandwidth, critical for precision pedal sensing |
Pinout & Package
DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 uses the LPG (TO-92, 3-pin) through-hole package, 4 mm × 1.52 mm nominal footprint, with Hall element centered 1030 µm ±115 µm from lead plane and 650 µm ±80 µm below top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply current and output signal; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane |
| OUT | Analog output | Single-ended ratiometric voltage (0.2 V to VCC–0.2 V); requires RC filter if bandwidth <20 kHz to reduce noise |
| VCC | Power supply | Accepts 4.5–5.5 V; requires ≥0.01 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor directly at pin to suppress supply transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ratiometric architecture | Eliminates VCC tolerance errors when ADC shares same VCC reference - no calibration needed across supply variance |
| Magnet temperature compensation | 0.12%/°C sensitivity increase counters NdFeB magnet drift, maintaining linearity across full –40°C to +150°C range |
| Low-noise analog output | 130 nT/√Hz input-referred noise enables sub-millitesla resolution in high-SNR applications like brake pedal sensing |
| Fast power-on response | 330 µs max tON ensures immediate readiness after ignition - meets automotive cold-start timing requirements |
| Wire-break fault detection | Supports fail-safe diagnostics via external pull-up; output near VCC or GND indicates open/short circuit in harness |
Applications
| Brake Pedal Position Sensing | Throttle Position Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detect absolute linear displacement of hydraulic brake pedal within 0–100% travel range under engine bay temperatures up to 150°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ratiometric analog front-end converting magnetic flux change into proportional voltage, sampled by microcontroller ADC at ≥1 kHz.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Contactless position detector replacing potentiometers; senses magnet movement along linear track during gear selection. Use Value: TO-92 package allows robust through-hole mounting in sealed enclosures; ±1% VQ ratiometry error prevents false gear detection during voltage fluctuations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ratiometric linear Hall-effect sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV5055A2QDBVRQ1 | SOT-23 (DBZ) package, identical sensitivity (50 mV/mT), same AEC-Q100 Grade 0 rating, but 170°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance vs 121°C/W for LPG | Better suited for space-constrained PCB layouts; less optimal for high-power dissipation in sealed enclosures | Select when board area is limited and thermal management via copper pour is feasible |
| MLX90242ESE-GAA-100-SP | Triaxis® Hall sensor with XYZ vector output; 40 mV/mT sensitivity; operates from 4.5–5.5 V; AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) | Enables 3D angle measurement; lacks built-in magnet temperature compensation; requires external MCU processing | Choose when multi-axis motion tracking is required and system-level temperature compensation can be implemented in firmware |
Compared with DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1, the SOT-23 alternative trades thermal performance for footprint reduction, while the MLX90242 offers vector capability at the cost of added signal processing complexity and reduced high-temperature operating margin - making DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding linear position tasks.

FAQ
What is the exact magnetic sensitivity and linear range of DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 at 5 V?
The DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 has a nominal sensitivity of 50 mV/mT and a linear magnetic sensing range of ±42 mT when operated at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C. This range is defined by the device's ±1% linearity error specification and accounts for worst-case quiescent voltage and sensitivity tolerances per TI's SBAS639E datasheet Section 5.6.
Does DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 require external temperature compensation in automotive applications?
No - DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 includes integrated magnet temperature compensation (STC = 0.12%/°C) designed to offset the typical drift of neodymium magnets across –40°C to +150°C. This eliminates need for external compensation circuits or firmware correction in most automotive position sensing applications.
What is the recommended decoupling capacitor for DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1?
Texas Instruments specifies a minimum 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VCC pin of DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1. This capacitor stabilizes the internal bias circuitry and suppresses high-frequency supply noise that could modulate the analog output - critical for maintaining 130 nT/√Hz noise performance.
Can DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 detect both north and south magnetic poles?
Yes - DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 produces positive output voltage for south pole approaching the marked top surface (B > 0) and negative voltage for north pole (B < 0), with quiescent output at VCC/2. This polarity distinction enables bidirectional position measurement, such as pedal travel direction or gear shifter movement toward/away from neutral.
Is DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1 pin-compatible with other variants in the DRV5055-Q1 family?
Yes - all DRV5055-Q1 variants, including DRV5055A2ELPGMQ1, share identical 3-pin TO-92 (LPG) pinout: Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = GND. This allows drop-in replacement between sensitivity grades (A1/A2/A3/A4/A5/Z2) without PCB changes, provided thermal and magnetic layout constraints remain valid.
