3 Description

The DRV425-Q1 automotive device is designed for single-axis magnetic field-sensing applications, and enables electrically-isolated, high-sensitivity, and precise dc- and ac-field measurements. The device provides the unique and proprietary, integrated fluxgate sensor (IFG) with an internal compensation coil to support a high-accuracy sensing range of ±2 mT, with a measurement bandwidth of up to 47 kHz. The low offset, offset drift, and noise of the sensor, combined with the precise gain, low gain drift, and very low nonlinearity provided by the internal compensation coil, result in unrivaled magnetic field measurement precision.This high level of sensitivity and accuracy enables more current measurements in high-current busbar applications, such as traction inverters or battery-management systems. Torque sensor or motor diagnostic systems can benefit from the ability to precisely measure the position or displacement of a magnetic field. The output of the DRV425-Q1 is an analog signal proportional to the sensed magnetic field.

The device offers a complete set of features, including an internal difference amplifier, on-chip precision reference, and diagnostic functions to minimize component count and system-level cost.

The device is available in a thermally-enhanced, nonmagnetic, thin WQFN package, with a thermal pad for optimized heat dissipation, and is specified for operation over the automotive temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
