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.
