The EVM PCB is a small form-factor test board with an LED indicator for the output state. The test unit is
installed on a printed circuit board (PCB) with access to each device pin. The PCB format is compatible with
Hall-Adapter-EVM, which allows users to test other devices on a large variety of package options. Please visit

when considering additional device selections.
Included with the EVM are several 3D printed structures which combine to produce a test platform with a hinged
lid functionality. The position of the magnet and sensor are customizable and can be manually set to assist with
determining appropriate sensor locations.

3 Operation
Final assembly of the 3D printed structures will be required to complete EVM setup. This may be done with
either HALL-HINGE-EVM or with HALL-ADAPATER-EVM.
The following steps walk through the procedure to evaluate TMAG5231 with the HALL-HINGE-EVM. If desired,
the 3D assembly may be downloaded, edited and reprinted as needed from SLYU062.zip.
