Product details
Overview
TLE4906H from Infineon Technologies is a high-precision Hall-effect switch sensor in SC59 (SOT23-compatible) package, operating from 2.7 V to 24 V supply, with ±6 kV HBM ESD rating, 1 µs typical jitter, and reverse battery protection down to –18 V. It delivers stable magnetic switching points across –40°C to 150°C ambient, used for accurate position sensing in automotive throttle and brake pedal modules.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4906H datasheet, TLE4906H pinout, TLE4906H application, or TLE4906H equivalent, key selection criteria include unregulated supply operation, active error compensation for mechanical stress immunity, chopper-stabilized threshold accuracy, and SMD SC59 footprint compatibility with standard SOT23 reflow processes.
Technical Context
The TLE4906H integrates a chopped Hall probe, on-chip oscillator, bias generator, temperature-compensated amplifier, low-pass filter, comparator with hysteresis, and reverse-polarity-protected voltage regulator. Its active error compensation rejects offset drift induced by molding stress and thermal cycling.
It uses chopper stabilization to suppress DC offsets and achieve precise magnetic switching thresholds (BOP = ±3.5 mT typ., BRP = ±2.5 mT typ.) with <±0.5 mT temperature drift over –40°C to 150°C. Output is open-collector digital signal with 50 mA sink capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 24 V - supports direct connection to unregulated automotive battery rails without external LDO. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | –18 V - withstands reverse polarity connection during service without damage or latch-up. |
| Jitter (typ.) | 1 µs - enables reliable timing-critical edge detection in fast-rotating crankshaft or camshaft sensing. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±6 kV - meets automotive assembly ESD robustness requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood engine compartment placement per AEC-Q100 Class 0. |
| Magnetic Sensitivity | BOP = ±3.5 mT (typ.), BRP = ±2.5 mT (typ.) - tight hysteresis window ensures noise-immune switching in high-vibration environments. |
| Output Type | Open-collector NPN - allows flexible pull-up to any logic rail (3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V) and wired-OR configuration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC59 (SOT23-compatible), 3-pin surface-mount plastic package with gull-wing leads; moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VS | Supply input | Accepts 2.7–24 V with integrated reverse-polarity protection; internal regulator powers analog core. |
| 2 - Q | Digital output | Open-collector NPN output; sinks up to 50 mA; requires external pull-up for logic-high state. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and output; must be low-impedance to minimize magnetic field coupling errors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active Error Compensation | Rejects mechanical stress-induced offset drift from soldering and packaging, maintaining switching point stability over lifetime. |
| Chopper-Stabilized Architecture | Eliminates 1/f noise and DC offset in Hall element and amplifier, enabling sub-mT threshold repeatability. |
| Unregulated Supply Operation | Operates directly from raw 12 V battery rail with no external regulation-reduces BOM count and PCB area. |
| High-Temperature Junction Rating | Rated for 195°C peak junction temperature (3 × 1 h), supporting reflow soldering and under-hood thermal cycling. |
Applications
| Automotive Throttle Position Sensing | Brake Pedal Position Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detect angular displacement of accelerator pedal shaft via magnet rotation near sensor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hall-effect switch providing clean digital on/off transition at calibrated pedal angles. Use Value: Active error compensation maintains consistent BOP/BRP despite thermal expansion of housing and magnet misalignment over 15-year vehicle life. | Use Scenario: Monitor brake pedal travel to enable brake light activation and electronic stability control (ESC) input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Magnetic proximity switch triggering at defined pedal stroke thresholds. Use Value: ±6 kV HBM ESD rating prevents field failures during service technician handling; 1 µs jitter ensures deterministic ESC response timing. |
| Engine Crankshaft Speed Sensing | Transmission Gear Position Feedback |
Use Scenario: Detect passing teeth on reluctor wheel mounted on crankshaft for RPM and ignition timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed digital edge detector synchronized to rotational events. Use Value: Chopper stabilization enables reliable zero-speed detection and consistent pulse width at low RPM (<50 rpm), critical for start-stop systems. | Use Scenario: Sense gear selector lever position using discrete magnets aligned with P/R/N/D positions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Binary position indicator with hysteresis to prevent chatter during mechanical detent transitions. Use Value: Tight ±0.5 mT temperature coefficient ensures correct gear identification across full –40°C to +125°C cabin temperature range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melexis US1881 | Lower supply range (3.5–24 V); no reverse battery protection; ±4 kV HBM ESD. | Lacks –18 V reverse polarity tolerance; requires external protection diode in battery-connected designs. | Use only where reverse connection risk is eliminated by system-level design. |
| Allegro A1120EUA-T | Wider BOP range (±5–10 mT); no active error compensation; 150°C max ambient. | Higher magnetic hysteresis reduces position resolution; less stable under thermal cycling. | Preferable only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications with controlled mechanical environment. |
Compared with US1881 and A1120EUA-T, the TLE4906H uniquely combines reverse battery protection, active error compensation, and ±6 kV ESD in an AEC-Q100-qualified SC59 package-making it the only choice for safety-critical, thermally stressed automotive position sensing where long-term magnetic threshold stability is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the magnetic field polarity requirement for TLE4906H operation?
The TLE4906H responds to vertical magnetic flux perpendicular to the package top surface. It switches on when south pole (B > +BOP) approaches the marked side and off when field drops below +BRP; north pole exposure produces no switching. The sensitive area center is located 1.35 mm from pin 1 edge and 0.8 mm from package surface.
Can TLE4906H drive an LED directly without external components?
Yes - its open-collector output can sink up to 50 mA, sufficient to drive standard indicator LEDs with appropriate series resistor. For a 12 V supply and 20 mA LED current, use a 560 Ω pull-up resistor; ensure total power dissipation in the IC remains below 250 mW under continuous conduction.
Is TLE4906H pin-compatible with TLE4906L?
No - TLE4906H uses SC59 (SOT23) package with pinout VS–Q–GND, while TLE4906L uses PG-SSO-3-2 with pinout VS–GND–Q. Though functionally identical, their PCB footprints and solder reflow profiles differ; board redesign is required for substitution.
Does TLE4906H require external filtering capacitors on the supply line?
Yes - a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of the VS and GND pins is mandatory to suppress high-frequency noise and stabilize the internal regulator. For noisy battery environments, add a 10 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor in parallel to improve low-frequency ripple rejection.
