8.1 Application Information

The DRV5015 is ideal for use in rotary applications for brushless DC (BLDC) motor sensors or incremental rotary encoding.

For reliable functionality, the magnet must apply a flux density at the sensor greater than the corresponding maximum B_OP or B_RP numbers specified in the table. Add additional margin to account for mechanical tolerance, temperature effects, and magnet variation. Magnets generally produce weaker fields as temperature increases.
