TLE4941plusC/CB
Differential Hall IC for Wheel Speed Sensing
Applications
TLE4941plusC, a differential Hall sensor for measuring magnetically the car’s wheel
speed, is the latest offspring of the extremely successful TLE4941 family, based
on Infineon’s most recent sensor technologies for front-and backend. Designed as
