more energy efficiency than standard LPDDR4 memory
Industry’s smallest 3D NAND memory die, measuring
only 60.217mm2, allows tiny memory packaging ideal
for ultra-small form factor devices; Micron’s 3D NAND
die is up to 30% smaller than planar NAND die of the
same capacity.
Micron’s 3D NAND solutions for mobile are now

Highly integrated Hall sensors by Infineon
reduce systems costs considerably
The new Hall sensors of Infineon TechnologiesAG (FSE:
IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) enable automotive, industrial
and consumer electronics to meet strict environmental
standards. Also, they help fulfil the requirements of very
cost-effective and compact designs. The Hall sensors
of the new TLx496x family are highly integrated, have
precise switching points, a stable operation and a low
power consumption. They are available as latch and
switch-type sensors.
The TLx496x Hall sensors consume no more than 1.6
mA. That is a power consumption of some 50 percent
lower than comparable products. And the 5-V versions
only consume 1.4 mA. The high ESD robustness and the
precise, stable magnetic switching points are suitable
for systems where energy efficiency, robustness and
precision matter. TLx496x Hall sensors reduce system
costs. Two to four of the previously needed passive
components are now redundant, which also reduces the
amount of space they take up on the circuit board.
All of the TLx496x Hall sensors – switches and
latches – have an integrated Hall element,a voltage
regulator,choppers, an oscillator and an output driver.
The voltage regulator powers the Hall element and the
active circuits. The chopper ensures that the temperature
remains stable and minimizes the effects of process
fluctuations, which occur for three reasons: First, each
single Hall sensor has a slightly different magnetic
switching point as a result of the manufacturing process;
second, the permanent magnets in the brushless DC
(BLDC) motor lose magnetic field strength as the
temperature rises and third, the Hall output voltage is
affected by stress and temperature. The TLx496x Hall
sensors compensate all of these effects. This is why
they switch very precisely over the entire specified
temperature range and total lifespan.
Optimized for 5-Volt systems for automotive applications:
TLE496x
The TLE496x-xM series is suitable for automotive
applications with an operating voltage of 3.0 V to 5.5 V,
which generally are not exposed to overcurrent. Target
applications are all systems that need a precise Hall
switch or Hall latch for an expanded temperature range
of -40 °C to 170 °C. The TLE496x-xM is typically used
in power windows and sunroofs, trunk locks, windshield
wipers, seatbelts, camshafts, shift levers and the many
controls used in BLDC motors. The latches’ (TLE4963-
1M/2M) magnetic behavior and switching points make
them particularly suitable for applications with precise
index counting (for pole wheels or the recording of the
rotor position) and for BLDC motors. The Hall switch
(TLE4965-5M) is particularly suitable for the recording
of switch and lever positions and the detection of open/
close states.
Optimized for 5-Volt systems for industrial applications:
TLI496x
The TLI496x-xM series is functionally the same as the
TLE496x-xM but is specified for a temperature range of
-40 °C to 125 °C and is JESD47 qualified. The TLI496x-
xM is typically used in BLDC motors in e-bikes and fans
in PCs, in electric drives in building automation (such
as blinds and garage doors) as well as the detection of
