Product details
Overview
TLE4976-1H from Infineon Technologies is a high-precision unipolar Hall-effect switch with current-output interface (8/14 mA), operating from 3.0 V to 26 V supply, featuring ±8 kV HBM ESD protection, <1 µs jitter, and active error compensation for mechanical stress immunity. It is designed for automotive crankshaft/camshaft position sensing in engine control units under harsh thermal conditions up to 155°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4976-1H datasheet, TLE4976-1H pinout, TLE4976-1H application, or TLE4976-1H equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic sensitivity stability over temperature, reverse-battery tolerance (–18 V), SC59 package compatibility with SOT23 footprints, and current-mode output immunity to cable noise in automotive wiring harnesses.
Technical Context
The TLE4976-1H integrates a chopper-stabilized Hall probe with on-chip bias generator, oscillator, low-pass filter, hysteresis comparator, and reverse-polarity-protected voltage regulator. Its active error compensation circuit rejects offset drift induced by molding stress and thermal cycling.
Magnetic switching is unipolar (BOP = +3.5 mT typ., BRP = +1.5 mT typ.), with digital current modulation output (8 mA low / 14 mA high) referenced to VS, enabling robust transmission over long cables without additional signal conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 26 V - supports direct battery connection in 12 V/24 V automotive systems with reverse-battery protection down to –18 V. |
| Output Current | 8 mA (low) / 14 mA (high) - current-source output provides inherent noise immunity and eliminates need for pull-up resistors in wiring harnesses. |
| Jitter | Typ. 1 µs - enables precise timing resolution for crankshaft position detection at engine speeds up to 10,000 RPM. |
| ESD Protection | ±8 kV HBM - meets automotive component-level ESD requirements per ISO 10605 without external protection devices. |
| Operating Junction Temp. | –40°C to +155°C - qualified for under-hood engine compartment placement without derating. |
| Magnetic Switch Points | BOP = +3.5 mT, BRP = +1.5 mT (typ.) - tight hysteresis (2.0 mT) ensures reliable edge detection in presence of vibration-induced field fluctuations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC59 (SOT23-compatible 3-pin surface-mount package, lead pitch 0.95 mm, body size 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VS | Supply input | Reverse-polarity protected power rail; accepts 3.0–26 V with internal clamp to –18 V. |
| 2 - N.C. | No internal connection | Electrically isolated pad; no bonding wire attached - must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
| 3 - GND | Reference return | Ground reference for Hall sensor core and output stage; requires low-inductance PCB connection for stable switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active Error Compensation | Rejects mechanical stress-induced offset drift from soldering and thermal cycling, maintaining BOP/BRP stability across 10-year vehicle life. |
| Chopper-Stabilized Architecture | Eliminates 1/f noise and zero-point drift, achieving <0.5% magnetic threshold variation over –40°C to +150°C. |
| Current-Mode Output | 8/14 mA sourcing output referenced to VS enables >10 m cable drive capability without signal degradation in noisy engine bays. |
| High-Temp Robustness | Rated for continuous operation at TJ = 155°C and peak exposure to 195°C (3×1 h), supporting placement near exhaust manifolds. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unipolar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melexis US1881 | Open-drain voltage output (not current-mode); 2.7–24 V supply; ±4 kV ESD; BOP = +3.0 mT. | Lacks current-output noise immunity; requires external pull-up and filtering for long-cable ABS use. | Select when cost-sensitive designs accept added external components and reduced EMC robustness. |
| NXP TLE4927C | Voltage-output (push-pull); 4.5–24 V; ±8 kV ESD; includes integrated diagnostics and wake-up logic. | Higher integration adds complexity; not pin-compatible; lacks reverse-battery protection below –12 V. | Prefer for next-gen ECUs requiring embedded diagnostics and LIN-compliant wake-up, accepting higher BOM cost. |
Compared with US1881 and TLE4927C, the TLE4976-1H uniquely combines current-mode output, –18 V reverse-battery tolerance, and active stress compensation - making it optimal for legacy and cost-constrained automotive powertrain sensors where wiring harness noise and thermal reliability are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 2 (N.C.) on the TLE4976-1H?
Pin 2 is electrically unconnected - no internal bond wire or silicon node is attached. It must remain unconnected in PCB layout; grounding or routing to other nets may cause parasitic coupling or thermal imbalance affecting magnetic sensitivity calibration.
Does the TLE4976-1H require an external pull-up resistor?
No. The device uses a current-source output (8/14 mA) referenced to VS, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. Load impedance is placed between output (GND-referenced) and VS, forming a current loop compatible with standard current-input receivers.
Can the TLE4976-1H operate with a 5 V microcontroller supply?
Yes - its 3.0 V minimum supply allows direct interface with 5 V systems. However, VS must be connected to the main battery rail (not regulated 5 V), because the output current level (8/14 mA) is referenced to VS, and reverse-battery protection only functions when VS is tied to the vehicle battery.
Is the TLE4976-1H qualified to AEC-Q100?
Yes - the TLE4976-1H is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0: –40°C to +150°C), with full qualification test reports available from Infineon. Its 155°C continuous operating junction temperature and 195°C short-term peak rating meet Grade 0 thermal requirements for engine compartment placement.
