Product Description
1.1 Overview
The TLE5011 is a 360° angle sensor that detects the orientation of a
magnetic field by measuring sine and cosine angle components with
monolithic integrated Giant Magneto Resistance (iGMR) elements.
Data communications are accomplished with a bi-directional
Synchronous Serial Communication (SSC) interface that is SPI
compatible.
The sine and cosine values can be read out digitally. These signals can
be digitally processed to calculate the angle orientation of the magnetic
field (magnet). This calculation can be done by using a COordinate
Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm.
It is possible to connect more than one TLE5011 to one SSC interface of a microcontroller for redundancy or any
other reason. If multiple TLE5011 devices are used, the synchronization of the connected TLE5011 is performed
by a broadcast command.
Each connected TLE5011 can be addressed by a dedicated Chip Select CS pin.
