Magnetic Flux Direction

As shown in Figure 6-1, the DRV5056 is sensitive to the magnetic field component that is perpendicular to the die inside the package.

DRV5056 Direction of SensitivityFigure 6-1 Direction of Sensitivity

Magnetic flux that travels from the bottom to the top of the package is considered positive. This condition exists when a south magnetic pole is near the top (marked-side) of the package. Magnetic flux that travels from the top to the bottom of the package results in negative millitesla values.
