The TMAG5110-5111EVM is an easy-to-use platform for evaluating the main features and performance of the
TMAG5110 and TMAG5111. The EVM features two separate circuits showing different implementations of a
rotary encoding application, with the TMAG5110 quadrature decoding circuit on the left and the TMAG5111
speed and direction circuit on the right. There are two different magnets and two magnet placement options to
highlight the dual latch capabilities of pole pitch independence and magnet placement independence. There is
also an extra plastic module in the EVM kit to help test and experiment with other magnet placement options.
The TMAG5110-5111EVM is intended to provide basic functional evaluation of the devices. The layout is not
intended to be a model for the target circuit, nor is it laid out for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing. The
TMAG5110-5111EVM consists of one PCB with one TMAG5110 and one TMAG5111.
2.1 Features
• Includes both quadrature decoding and speed and direction implementations of a rotary encoding application
• Includes both a 10 pole and 20 pole ring magnet to show magnet pitch independence
• Each magnet can be placed in horizontal and vertical positions to show magnet placement independence
• Includes an additional position module which allows experimentation with further magnet placement options
• Conveniently powered from a common micro-USB connector
