Physical Placement of the Magnet

The best linearity can be achieved by placing the center of the magnet exactly over the defined center of the IC

package as shown in Figure 21:

Magnet Placement

The magnet’s center axis should be aligned within a displacement radius Rd of 0.25mm from the defined center of the

IC with reference to the edge of pin #1 (see Figure 21). This radius includes the placement tolerance of the chip within

the SSOP-16 package (+/- 0.235mm). The displacement radius Rd is 0.485mm with reference to the center of the chip

(see section 13: Alignment Mode)
