CT310

XtremeSense™ 2D TMR Angle Sensor

FEATURES AND BENEFITS DESCRIPTION

• Angle error less than 0.60° (after one-time compensation) The CT310 is a 2D angle sensor in a dual full-bridge
over full temperature range configuration using XtremeSense™ 2D tunnel magneto-
• Dual full-bridge TMR resistor network resistance (TMR) technology. The operating magnetic field
• Operating magnetic field: 250 to 900 G for this 2D sensor is 250 to 900 G and has an angle error
• Differential outputs for SIN and COS axes less than 0.60° over temperature following a one-time offset,
• Supply voltage: 1.0 to 5.5 V gain, and phase compensation. The sensitive axes of the TMR
• AEC-Q100 Grade 0 elements are orthogonal to each other, providing a 90° phase
separation between the sine and cosine outputs when measured
differentially. This phase separation is inherently independent
APPLICATIONS of magnet pole spacing and air gap.
• Angular measurements The CT310 is available in an 8-lead TSSOP package, and for
• Rotary and angular sensors space-critical applications, a low-profile and small form factor
• BLDC motors 8-lead DFN package that is 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm × 0.45 mm
in size. The packages are RoHS compliant and lead (Pb) free
with a 100% matte-tin-plated leadframe.
