Introduction 

The 3D magnetic sensor TLV493D-A1B6 offers accurate three-dimensional sensing 

with extremely low power consumption in a small 6-pin package.  

With its magnetic field detection in x, y, and z-direction the sensor reliably 

measures three-dimensional, linear and rotation movements. Applications include 

joysticks, control elements (white goods, multifunction knops), or electric meters 

(anti tampering) and any other application that requires accurate angular 

measurements or low power consumptions. 

The integrated temperature sensor can furthermore be used for plausibility 

checks.

Key features are 3D magnetic sensing with a very low 

power consumption during operations. The sensor has a 

digital output via 2-wire based standard I2C interface up 

to 1 MBit/sec and 12 bit data resolution for each 

measurement direction (Bx, By and Bz linear field 

measurement up to +-130mT).
