Product details
Overview
TLE4945LHALA1 from Infineon Technologies is a bipolar Hall-effect switch IC designed for magnetic field sensing in automotive and industrial systems. It features open-collector output, operates from 3.8 V to 24 V supply, delivers ±100 mA output current, and functions across –40 °C to +150 °C. Used in brushless DC motor commutation and rotational indexing where polarity reversal detection is required.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4945LHALA1 datasheet, TLE4945LHALA1 pinout, TLE4945LHALA1 application, or TLE4945LHALA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar magnetic switching thresholds (BOP = ±3.5 mT typ., BRP = ∓2.5 mT typ.), integrated reverse-polarity protection, output transient immunity, and PG-SSO-3-2 package compatibility with high-temperature PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLE4945LHALA1 integrates a Hall generator, chopper-stabilized amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and on-chip voltage reference in a single die. Its bipolar hysteresis enables reliable switching under alternating magnetic fields without false triggering during field decay.
Internal reverse-polarity protection diode and output clamping circuitry suppress negative transients up to –32 V and limit output current to ±100 mA, enabling direct connection to inductive loads without external protection components.
Key Specifications

| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood and transmission-mounted applications |
| Output Type | Open-collector NPN - allows wired-OR logic and flexible pull-up configuration at system level |
| Bipolar Switching Thresholds | BOP = ±3.5 mT typ., BRP = ∓2.5 mT typ. - enables robust detection of magnet polarity reversal in rotary encoders |
| Output Current Rating | ±100 mA - drives small relays, LEDs, or logic inputs directly without external buffer |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Integrated diode - eliminates need for external series diode in battery-reversed environments |
| ESD Robustness | HBM ≥ 2 kV - meets automotive component-level ESD requirements per ISO 10605 |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-SSO-3-2 (Plastic Small Outline, 3-pin, exposed pad, RoHS-compliant). Dimensions: 2.08 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.9 mm, pitch 0.95 mm. Exposed thermal pad enhances heat dissipation in high-ambient environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VS) | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.8–24 V DC; internal regulator powers Hall element and analog front-end |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and output; connects to exposed thermal pad for thermal and electrical grounding |
| 3 (Q) | Open-collector output | Sinks current when active; requires external pull-up; compatible with 3.3 V/5 V/12 V logic interfaces |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar magnetic response | Detects both North and South pole approach with defined operate/release hysteresis - essential for direction-sensitive rotation sensing |
| Temperature-compensated thresholds | BOP/BRP drift < ±0.1 mT/°C - maintains consistent switching points across full operating temperature range |
| Integrated reverse-polarity protection | Withstands –40 V supply reversal for <400 ms - eliminates risk of damage during service or jump-start events |
| Output transient suppression | Clamps negative spikes to –32 V and limits sink current to 100 mA - protects against inductive kickback from solenoids or motors |
| Chopper-stabilized amplifier | Reduces offset drift and 1/f noise - improves long-term stability in low-speed position detection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bipolar Hall switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melexis US1881EUA-ABA-000-RE | Higher BOP (±5 mT), lower supply range (2.7–24 V), no integrated reverse-polarity protection | Requires external reverse-battery diode; better suited for low-power portable systems than under-hood automotive | Select when lower quiescent current (<4 mA) and wider supply flexibility outweigh need for built-in polarity protection |
| Allegro A1120ELHLT-T | Unipolar only, BOP = 2.5 mT, no BRP specification, TO-92 package | Lacks bipolar hysteresis; unsuitable for direction-sensing or alternating-field applications | Only consider for cost-sensitive unipolar proximity tasks where polarity reversal is not present |
Compared with US1881EUA-ABA-000-RE and A1120ELHLT-T, the TLE4945LHALA1 uniquely combines bipolar operation, reverse-polarity hardening, and automotive-grade thermal performance in a surface-mount SSO package-making it the sole choice for robust, polarity-aware sensing in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the magnetic sensitivity polarity behavior of the TLE4945LHALA1?
The TLE4945LHALA1 is a bipolar Hall switch: it turns ON when a sufficient North-pole field exceeds BOP (+3.5 mT typ.) and remains ON until a South-pole field exceeding BRP (–2.5 mT typ.) forces it OFF. This hysteresis prevents chatter near zero field and enables direction discrimination in rotating systems.
Can the TLE4945LHALA1 drive an LED directly without a current-limiting resistor?
No. Although its output can sink up to 100 mA, a series current-limiting resistor is mandatory to set safe LED current and prevent thermal overstress. For example, with a 12 V supply and red LED (VF ≈ 2 V), a 100 Ω resistor limits current to ~100 mA - but continuous operation at max rating requires thermal derating per ambient conditions.
Is the exposed pad on the PG-SSO-3-2 package electrically connected?
Yes - the exposed thermal pad is internally connected to GND (Pin 2). It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to system ground for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression. Floating or insulated mounting degrades junction temperature rise and may cause premature failure above 105 °C ambient.
Does the TLE4945LHALA1 require an external pull-up resistor on the Q output?
Yes - the Q pin is an open-collector NPN output and cannot source current. A pull-up resistor to VS or another logic rail is required to establish a valid HIGH state. Typical values range from 1 kΩ (for fast switching with capacitive loads) to 10 kΩ (for low-power standby); value selection depends on rise time, power budget, and bus capacitance.
