7.3.1 Magnetic Flux Direction

As shown in Figure 11, the DRV5015 is sensitive to the magnetic field component that is perpendicular to the top of the package.

Figure 11. Direction of Sensitivity

Magnetic flux that travels from the bottom to the top of the package is considered positive in this document. This condition exists when a south magnetic pole is near the top of the package. Magnetic flux that travels from the top to the bottom of the package is considered negative. Figure 12 shows the flux direction polarity.
