Functional Description

The sensor element has a magnetic interface to detect the increments of a magnetized encoder: the sensing

principle is based on the giant magneto resistance (GMR) principle sensitive to magnetic fields in x-direction. It

is designed for maximum sensitivity and suppression of homogeneous fields.

In the figure below the typical placement of the TLE5045iC facing a magnetic encoder wheel is shown. The

figure also indicates the coordinate system, which is valid throughout this document.
