8.1.1 Selecting the Sensitivity Option

Select the highest DRV5055 sensitivity option that can measure the required range of magnetic flux density, so that the output voltage swing is maximized.

Larger-sized magnets and farther sensing distances can generally enable better positional accuracy than very small magnets at close distances, because magnetic flux density increases exponentially with the proximity to a magnet.
