8.3.1 Magnetic Flux Direction

Figure 8-1 shows that the TMAG5231 device is sensitive to the magnetic field component that is perpendicular to the top of the package.

Figure 8-1 Direction of Sensitivity

Magnetic flux that travels from the bottom to the top of the package is considered positive in this data sheet. This condition exists when a south magnetic pole is near the top of the package. Magnetic flux that travels from the top to the bottom of the package results in negative millitesla values.
