Key features

U V W signals for block commutation Adjustable zero 500 kHz refresh rate Ultra low latency 3 µs Serial interface for settings mA supply current

Angular Sensor for 3-Phase Brushless Motor Commutation

The MagAlpha MA120 is a magnetic sensor designed to replace the 3 Hall switch solutions for 3 phases block commutation in brushless dc motors. The IC detects the absolute angular position of a permanent magnet, typically a diametrically magnetized cylinder attached to the rotor. The MagAlpha is an extremely fast acquisition and processing sensor, allowing accurate angle measurement at speeds from 0 to 120’000 RPM.

QFN-16 3x3mm package

Since the measurement is spatially confined, the user has flexibility in terms of magnet shapes and configurations. This can help relaxing mechanical tolerances.
