Product details
Overview
TLE4951CBXTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a monolithic Hall-effect switch in SSOP-2-11 (leadless) package, operating from 4.5 V to 24 V supply, with ±1.5 mT magnetic operate point (BOP), -40 °C to 150 °C ambient temperature range, and open-drain output. It serves as a contactless position sensor in automotive throttle valves and transmission gear selectors.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4951CBXTMA1 datasheet, TLE4951CBXTMA1 pinout, TLE4951CBXTMA1 application, or TLE4951CBXTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic sensitivity tolerance, reverse-polarity protection capability, integrated ESD protection level, and AEC-Q100 qualification status for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The TLE4951CBXTMA1 integrates a Hall plate, voltage regulator, small-signal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and open-drain NMOS output stage on a single silicon die. Its internal regulator enables stable operation across wide supply ranges without external decoupling beyond 100 nF.
Magnetic field detection is differential-rejecting common-mode flux-and features built-in hysteresis of 0.3 mT to prevent chatter near switching thresholds. The device includes reverse-voltage protection up to -24 V and electrostatic discharge immunity per ISO 10605 (±8 kV contact, ±15 kV air).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 24 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails without external LDO. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +150 °C - qualified for engine compartment and transmission control unit mounting locations. |
| Magnetic Operate Point (BOP) | ±1.5 mT - enables reliable actuation with low-strength ferrite magnets at air gaps up to 2.5 mm. |
| Hysteresis (BHYST) | 0.3 mT - prevents oscillation during slow or noisy magnetic field transitions. |
| Output Type | Open-drain NMOS - allows wired-OR configuration and interface with 3.3 V or 5 V logic via pull-up resistor. |
| ESD Protection | ±8 kV contact / ±15 kV air (ISO 10605) - eliminates need for external TVS in most PCB layouts. |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | -24 V - withstands battery jump-start polarity reversal without damage or latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
SSOP-2-11 (leadless) package: 2 mm × 2 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, thermally enhanced exposed pad, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating. Pin 1 = VBB, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBB | Positive supply input | Accepts 4.5–24 V; internal regulator powers analog core and output stage. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for supply, Hall sensor, and output driver; tied to thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| OUT | Open-drain output | Sinks up to 20 mA; requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and drive strength. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential Hall sensing | Rejects uniform stray fields (e.g., from nearby solenoids), improving positional accuracy in noisy powertrain environments. |
| Integrated reverse-polarity protection | Eliminates need for external series diode, reducing BOM count and forward voltage drop in battery-fed systems. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Validated for operation up to +150 °C junction temperature, meeting requirements for safety-critical drivetrain sensors. |
| Low-power standby current | Typical 3.5 mA at 12 V - enables use in always-on vehicle modules without excessive quiescent drain. |
Applications
| Throttle Position Sensing | Transmission Gear Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting angular position of accelerator pedal linkage in gasoline and hybrid powertrains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Contactless magnetic switch providing ON/OFF state feedback to ECU for pedal travel validation and limp-home mode activation.

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 US1881EUA-ABA-000-RE | Higher BOP (±3.5 mT); no reverse-voltage protection; 3.3 V only supply. | Requires external protection circuitry and magnet redesign for same air gap; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive industrial encoders where supply is regulated and environment benign. |
| NXP TLE4922CXTMA1 | Same package and pinout; lower BOP (±1.0 mT); no integrated ESD beyond HBM 2 kV. | More sensitive to weak fields but less robust against ESD events in service environments. | Prefer when tighter magnetic threshold control is needed and board-level ESD mitigation is already implemented. |
Compared with US1881EUA-ABA-000-RE and TLE4922CXTMA1, the TLE4951CBXTMA1 delivers superior system-level robustness through integrated reverse-polarity and high-level ESD protection, while maintaining AEC-Q100 Grade 0 compliance-critical for unregulated automotive battery interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output sink current for TLE4951CBXTMA1?
The TLE4951CBXTMA1 supports a continuous output sink current of 20 mA at Tj ≤ 150 °C. This rating is valid across the full supply range (4.5 V to 24 V) and ambient temperature range (-40 °C to +150 °C), with derating applied above 125 °C junction temperature per the datasheet thermal curves.
Does TLE4951CBXTMA1 require an external pull-up resistor on the output pin?
Yes, the open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor to define the logic-high voltage level. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on rise-time requirements and bus loading; values below 1 kΩ may exceed the 20 mA sink limit during transition.
Is TLE4951CBXTMA1 compliant with AEC-Q100, and which stress test grade applies?
Yes, TLE4951CBXTMA1 is AEC-Q100 qualified to Grade 0 (−40 °C to +150 °C ambient), covering HTOL, TC, AC/DC stress tests, and ESD per human-body model and machine model standards as specified in Rev. 1.2 of the official Infineon qualification report.
Can TLE4951CBXTMA1 be used with neodymium magnets?
Yes, but caution is required: its ±1.5 mT operate point is optimized for low-coercivity ferrite magnets. Neodymium magnets produce stronger fields and may cause premature or unintended switching unless air gap or magnet size is adjusted to reduce flux density at the Hall plate to within specification.
