Functional Description

The linear Hall IC TLE4998S8(D) has been designed specifically to meet the requirements of highly accurate angle

and position detection.

The sensor provides a digital SENT signal based on the SAE J2716 standard, which consists of a sequence of

pulses. Each transmission consists of multiple data nibbles containing the Hall value, the temperature and status

information of the sensor.

The output stage is an open-drain driver pulling the output pin to low only. Therefore, the high level needs to be

obtained by an external pull-up resistor. This output type has the advantage that the receiver may use an even

lower supply voltage (e.g. 3.3 V). In this case the pull-up resistor must be connected to the given receiver supply.

The IC is produced in BiCMOS technology with high voltage capability and it also has reverse-polarity protection.

Digital signal processing using a 16-bit DSP architecture together with digital temperature and stress

compensation guarantees excellent stability over the whole temperature range and life time.
