TLE493D-P2B6 MS2GO 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go evaluation kit EvalBoard description It is not recommended to apply an additional power supply to the V pin of X1 (3.3 V) when the board is powered via USB, because the 3.3 V supply could drive against the on-board power supply. The V pin can be used to power an external circuit.
TLE493D-P2B6 MS2GO 3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go evaluation kit EvalBoard description EvalBoard schematics The schematics of the different blocks from the EvalBoard of the3D Magnetic Sensor 2 Go kit are provided in this chapter. They can be used to design customized PCBs. The user (integrator) is responsible for the correct functioning on system level as well as for the validation and testing.
