Product details
Overview
TLE49646MXTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-precision unipolar Hall effect switch optimized for automotive position and speed sensing. It operates from 3.0 V to 32 V supply, features open-drain output, ±0.5 mT magnetic threshold stability over −40°C to +170°C, and delivers typ. 0.35 µs signal jitter - used in engine camshaft/crankshaft sensing and transmission gear detection.
For engineers reviewing the TLE49646MXTMA1 datasheet, TLE49646MXTMA1 pinout, TLE49646MXTMA1 application, or TLE49646MXTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operating point (BOP = 3.5 mT), release point (BRP = 2.5 mT), reverse polarity tolerance (−18 V), load-dump resilience (42 V without external resistor), and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The TLE49646MXTMA1 integrates a spinning Hall probe with chopper-stabilized amplifier, low-pass filtering, and comparator with hysteresis to suppress noise-induced switching. Its internal voltage regulator enables stable operation across wide input transients, while active error compensation maintains magnetic threshold accuracy over temperature and lifetime.
It implements overtemperature and overcurrent protection with automatic recovery, and uses an oscillator-driven sequencer to synchronize internal blocks - eliminating external timing components and supporting robust start-up behavior even after brown-out events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 32 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery without pre-regulation, tolerates load-dump spikes up to 42 V |
| Magnetic Operating Point (BOP) | 3.5 mT ±0.5 mT - precise activation threshold for reliable cam/crank tooth detection at high RPM |
| Magnetic Release Point (BRP) | 2.5 mT ±0.5 mT - ensures clean hysteresis margin (1.0 mT) to prevent chatter near field zero-crossing |
| Output Type | Open-drain N-channel MOSFET - allows flexible pull-up configuration and wired-OR interfacing with microcontroller inputs |
| Signal Jitter | Typ. 0.35 µs - enables accurate timing resolution for <1° crankshaft angular position estimation |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +170°C - qualified for placement directly on engine blocks or near exhaust manifolds |
| ESD Robustness | HBM ±8 kV - eliminates need for external TVS in most PCB layouts per ISO 10605 |
Pinout & Package
Delivered in PG-SOT23-3-15 - a thermally enhanced, lead-free SMD package with exposed thermal pad (pin 3 connected internally to GND), optimized for high-temperature automotive mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Supply Input | Accepts 3.0–32 V DC; includes reverse polarity protection (−18 V) and internal regulation for analog core stability |
| 2 (Q) | Open-Drain Output | Sinks current when active; requires external pull-up; supports 20 mA max sink current with thermal foldback |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for supply and output; electrically tied to thermal pad for improved heat dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range with Load-Dump Tolerance | Operates from 3.0 V to 32 V and withstands 42 V transients without external clamping resistor - reduces BOM count in 12 V/24 V systems |
| Thermally Stable Magnetic Thresholds | BOP and BRP drift ≤ ±0.5 mT over −40°C to +170°C - enables single calibration across full vehicle life without recalibration |
| Integrated Overtemperature Protection | Shuts down output above junction temperature limit and auto-recovers when cooled - prevents latch-up during thermal overload |
| Chopper-Stabilized Signal Chain | Eliminates offset drift and 1/f noise in Hall sensor and amplifier - achieves sub-millitesla repeatability in harsh EMI environments |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Withstands −18 V applied to VDD - protects against battery misconnection during service or assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unipolar Hall switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melexis US1881EUA-ABA-000-REEL | Lower supply range (3.5–24 V); no load-dump tolerance beyond 28 V; BOP = 3.0 mT (±0.3 mT) | Lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 0 rating; rated only to +150°C - unsuitable for direct engine-mount use | Select if cost-sensitive and operating environment stays below 150°C with regulated supply |
| Allegro A1120EUA-T | Wider BOP hysteresis (1.5 mT); higher jitter (1.2 µs); no integrated overtemperature shutdown | Not qualified to AEC-Q100; limited to industrial temp range (−40°C to +150°C) | Choose only for non-automotive, lower-speed position sensing where thermal safety is externally managed |
Compared with US1881EUA-ABA-000-REEL and A1120EUA-T, TLE49646MXTMA1 provides superior thermal margin, tighter magnetic tolerance, and built-in fault protection - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B–relevant engine and transmission subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous sink current capability of the TLE49646MXTMA1 output?
The output can continuously sink up to 20 mA at 25°C ambient, with thermal foldback reducing current above 125°C junction temperature. The device includes internal overcurrent protection that limits peak current to 40 mA and recovers automatically once fault condition clears.
Does the TLE49646MXTMA1 require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes - the open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor to VDD or another logic rail. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on rise time and bus capacitance; Figure 6 in the datasheet shows a standard application circuit using only this resistor.
Can the TLE49646MXTMA1 operate reliably during cold-cranking conditions?
Yes - its 3.0 V minimum supply voltage and internal regulator allow stable operation down to 2.7 V (per characterization data), covering typical cold-cranking dips to 4–6 V in 12 V systems and 8–10 V in 24 V commercial vehicles.
Is the PG-SOT23-3-15 package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes - the PG-SOT23-3-15 package is lead-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with full material declarations available via Infineon's product change notification system.
