Product details
Overview
DRV5056A3QDBZR from Texas Instruments is a unipolar ratiometric linear Hall-effect sensor in SOT-23 package, designed for precise analog position sensing using south-pole magnetic fields. It delivers 50 mV/mT sensitivity at 5 V, supports 79 mT linear range, operates from 3.3 V or 5 V supplies, and features magnet temperature compensation across –40°C to +125°C for industrial position feedback systems.
For engineers reviewing the DRV5056A3QDBZR datasheet, DRV5056A3QDBZR pinout, DRV5056A3QDBZR application, or DRV5056A3QDBZR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed magnetic and electrical specifications, real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for unipolar linear Hall sensing in embedded motion control.
Technical Context
The DRV5056A3QDBZR implements a fully integrated ratiometric analog signal chain with on-die Hall element, precision amplifier, offset cancellation, and magnet temperature compensation (STC = 0.12%/°C). Its output voltage scales linearly with both applied flux density and supply voltage (VCC), enabling high-accuracy digitization when paired with a VCC-referenced ADC.
It senses magnetic flux perpendicular to the top surface of the SOT-23 package, with quiescent output fixed at 0.6 V (±50 mV) at zero field. The device achieves 20 kHz bandwidth and ±1 mA output drive capability while maintaining input-referred noise of 130 nT/√Hz at 5 V - optimized for stable analog position measurement in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity (VCC = 5 V) | 50 mV/mT - enables full-scale analog output swing over 79 mT linear range without clipping |
| Quiescent Output Voltage | 0.6 V ±50 mV - establishes mid-supply reference point for bidirectional analog sensing headroom |
| Operating Supply | 3.3 V or 5 V (±10%) - dual-rail compatibility simplifies integration into existing 3.3 V or 5 V controller subsystems |
| Sensing Bandwidth | 20 kHz - supports real-time position tracking in fast-moving actuators and robotics joints |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and factory automation use |
| Magnet Temp Compensation | 0.12%/°C STC - actively counteracts neodymium magnet drift to maintain linearity across full operating range |
| Output Drive | ±1 mA - sufficient to drive typical RC filters or 10 kΩ ADC inputs without external buffering |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) 3-pin surface-mount package: 2.92 mm × 2.37 mm footprint with gull-wing leads, optimized for automated assembly and compact PCB layouts in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 3.3 V or 5 V ±10%; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to GND for stable operation |
| GND | Ground reference | Provides return path for supply current and output current; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| OUT | Analog voltage output | 0.6 V quiescent, ratiometrically scaled by B-field and VCC; drives ±1 mA into external load or filter network |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unipolar linear response | Outputs increasing voltage only for south-pole magnetic flux - eliminates ambiguity in one-directional position sensing |
| Ratiometric architecture | Output sensitivity scales with VCC, minimizing error when ADC uses same VCC as reference - improves system-level accuracy without calibration |
| Magnet temperature compensation | 0.12%/°C gain adjustment counters NdFeB magnet drift - maintains <±1% linearity error over –40°C to +125°C |
| Low-noise analog output | 130 nT/√Hz input-referred noise at 5 V - enables sub-millimeter resolution in precision fluid flow or tilt measurement |
| Fast power-on time | 300 µs max tON - ensures rapid readiness after power-up in battery-powered or safety-critical motion detection systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unipolar linear Hall sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV5055A3QDBZR | Same SOT-23 package, identical 50 mV/mT sensitivity, but no magnet temperature compensation (STC = 0%/°C) | Limited to narrow-temperature applications (<60°C) where magnet drift is negligible or externally compensated | Select when cost reduction is prioritized over wide-temperature linearity; verify magnet type and thermal profile first. |
| TMAG5170AHQDBTR | 3-axis Hall sensor with digital SPI output, 16-bit resolution, and integrated diagnostics - not analog or ratiometric | Requires MCU with SPI interface; supports multi-axis sensing and self-test - unsuitable for simple analog-only designs | Choose only if system already uses SPI peripherals and benefits from vector field analysis or functional safety diagnostics. |
Compared with DRV5056A3QDBZR, DRV5055A3QDBZR offers identical analog performance without temperature compensation - reducing cost but limiting use to thermally stable environments. TMAG5170AHQDBTR replaces analog simplicity with digital flexibility and multi-axis capability, demanding firmware changes and higher BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity response of the DRV5056A3QDBZR?
The DRV5056A3QDBZR responds exclusively to the south pole of a magnet, producing an increasing analog output voltage proportional to magnetic flux density. It does not respond to north poles - this unipolar behavior eliminates ambiguity in directional position sensing and simplifies mechanical design by requiring only one pole orientation.
Does the DRV5056A3QDBZR require external components for basic operation?
Yes - DRV5056A3QDBZR requires a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to the pins. No external resistors or filters are needed for standard operation, though an RC low-pass filter may be added to OUT if 20 kHz bandwidth exceeds application requirements and noise reduction is desired.
How does the ratiometric architecture of the DRV5056A3QDBZR improve system accuracy?
The DRV5056A3QDBZR's ratiometric architecture ensures its sensitivity scales linearly with VCC, so when used with an ADC that references the same VCC, supply voltage tolerance errors cancel out. This eliminates the need for separate voltage regulation or calibration routines - delivering consistent position measurement accuracy across varying input rail conditions.
What is the linear magnetic sensing range of the DRV5056A3QDBZR at 3.3 V supply?
At 3.3 V supply and 25°C, the DRV5056A3QDBZR maintains a linear magnetic sensing range of 78 mT - slightly reduced from the 79 mT specified at 5 V due to lower sensitivity (30 mV/mT vs. 50 mV/mT). This range remains fully usable for most position-sensing applications requiring sub-millimeter resolution within compact mechanical envelopes.
Can the DRV5056A3QDBZR operate reliably in automotive under-hood environments?
Yes - DRV5056A3QDBZR is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and features magnet temperature compensation optimized for neodymium magnets. Its SOT-23 package meets automotive thermal dissipation requirements when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs with adequate copper area, making it suitable for throttle, brake, and suspension position sensing.
