Product details
Overview
TLE5012FUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a GMR-based angular position sensor designed for high-accuracy rotor-angle measurement in motor control systems. It delivers 14-bit angle resolution (0.022°), operates over –40°C to 150°C, supports dual-output interfaces (SSC and PWM), and features integrated diagnostics including CRC error detection and supply voltage monitoring - enabling robust operation in automotive EPS and industrial servo drives.
For engineers reviewing the TLE5012FUMA1 datasheet, TLE5012FUMA1 pinout, TLE5012FUMA1 application, or TLE5012FUMA1 equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, interface timing constraints, magnetic field sensitivity (±40 mT operating range), safety-relevant diagnostic coverage, and real-world use cases in BLDC commutation and steering angle feedback loops.
Technical Context
The TLE5012FUMA1 integrates two orthogonal GMR bridge sensors with on-chip SD-ADCs, a digital signal processing unit (DSPU) performing arctangent calculation and linearization, and a PLL-synchronized clock system. Its signal path includes offset/amp correction, harmonic compensation, and 14-bit angle output generation at up to 20 kHz update rate.
It supports four configurable output modes: synchronous serial communication (SSC) with 16-bit data + 8-bit CRC, pulse-width modulation (PWM) with programmable frequency (1–2 MHz), Hall switch mode with adjustable hysteresis, and incremental interface (IIF) with step/direction outputs - all selectable via internal register configuration without external components.

Pinout & Package
Package: PG-DSO-8 (Plastic Dual Small Outline, 8-pin, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant). Dimensions per Figure 32 (DSO-8 outline): 4.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.75 mm, pitch 1.27 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | 4.5–5.5 V main supply; powers analog front-end, digital core, and I/O drivers; requires local 100 nF decoupling. |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital common return; connected to exposed thermal pad for thermal dissipation and noise reduction. |
| CLK | External clock input | Accepts 1–10 MHz square wave for synchronization; optional when internal oscillator is used (default mode). |
| DATA | SSC bidirectional data line | Configurable as master-out/slave-in (MOSI) or master-in/slave-out (MISO); supports push-pull or open-drain drive. |
| CSN | SSC chip select | Active-low enable for SSC communication; must be held low during full frame transfer (24 bits). |
| PWM | Pulse-width modulated output | Duty cycle encodes absolute angle (0–100% = 0–360°); frequency programmable from 1–2 MHz via register. |
| HS | Hall switch output | Open-drain digital output toggling at user-defined threshold angles; hysteresis configurable via register. |
| DIR | Incremental direction output | Paired with STEP pin in IIF mode; indicates rotation direction (high = clockwise, low = counterclockwise). |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar angular position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS5055A-DSOT | 12-bit resolution, SPI-only interface, no PWM or Hall Switch mode; operates up to 125°C. | Lacks functional safety diagnostics and multi-interface flexibility; suitable for non-automotive consumer-grade actuators. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs resolution and safety requirements; verify magnetic field compatibility (±30 mT max). |
| TLE5012B E001 | Same die, updated package marking and minor ESD enhancement (HBM 2 kV → 4 kV); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Drop-in replacement with extended production availability; same qualification for automotive ASIL-B systems. | Prefer for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance; backward compatible with TLE5012FUMA1 PCB layouts and firmware. |
Compared with AS5055A-DSOT, TLE5012FUMA1 offers higher resolution, broader temperature range, and integrated safety features - critical for automotive EPS. Against TLE5012B E001, it shares core functionality but lacks the latest ESD rating and lifecycle support, making the B variant preferable for new production ramps.

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable update rate for angle data?
The TLE5012FUMA1 achieves a maximum angle update rate of 20 kHz, corresponding to a 50 µs measurement cycle. This is enabled by its internal PLL-synchronized ADC sampling and dedicated DSPU, allowing real-time execution of arctangent calculation and linearization without host intervention. The rate remains consistent across all output modes (SSC, PWM, etc.) when configured for highest speed.
Does the device require an external magnet, and what are the recommended specifications?
Yes, the TLE5012FUMA1 requires an external diametrically magnetized ring or disc magnet. Infineon specifies optimal performance with magnets delivering ±40 mT field strength at the sensor location, with air gap ≤3.5 mm and magnet thickness ≥2 mm. Common grades include NdFeB N35–N42 or SmCo; magnet orientation must align with the sensor's sensitive axis as shown in Figure 10 of the datasheet.
How does the CRC protection work in SSC mode?
In SSC mode, the TLE5012FUMA1 appends an 8-bit CRC (polynomial x⁸+x²+x+1) to each 16-bit angle data frame, forming a 24-bit transmission. The CRC covers both angle data and register address bits, enabling detection of bit errors during bus transmission. The host must validate the CRC before accepting angle values - failure triggers a defined fail-safe output state per safety configuration.
Can the PWM and SSC interfaces operate simultaneously?
No - the TLE5012FUMA1 supports only one active interface mode at a time, selected via configuration registers. While pins like DATA and PWM share physical terminals, internal multiplexing prevents concurrent operation. Mode switching requires reconfiguration via SSC write commands or power-cycle reset; simultaneous use would cause undefined behavior and is not supported in hardware or software.
