DESCRIPTION
The APS11450 three-wire planar Hall-effect sensor integrated circuits (ICs) were developed in accordance with ISO26262:2011 as a hardware safety element out of context with ASIL B capability (pending assessment) for use in automotive safetyrelated systems when integrated and used in the manner prescribed in the applicable safety manual and datasheet. The enhanced three-wire interface provides interconnect open/ short diagnostics and a fault state to communicate diagnostic information while maintaining compatibility with legacy three-wire systems. The continuous background diagnostics are transparent to the host system and results in a reduced fault tolerant time.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Functional safety
□ Developed in accordance with ISO 26262:2011 to meet
ASIL B requirements (pending assessment)
□ Integrated background diagnostics for signal path,
regulator, Hall plate and bias, overtemperature
detection, and nonvolatile memory
□ Defined fault state
• Multiple product options
□ Magnetic polarity, switchpoints, and hysteresis
