REDROCK™ RR121 SERIES TMR DIGITAL MAGNETIC SENSOR
1 Description
The RedRock
™
RR121 Series is a magnetic sensor with digital push-
pull output ideal for use in medical, industrial, automotive, and con-
sumer applications. Based on patented Tunneling Magnetoresistance
(TMR) technology with seamless CMOS integration, the RR121 offers
multiple configurations of several parameters to enable applications
like proximity sensing, rotary sensing, and level detection.
The RR121 features available operate sensitivities from 9 G (0.9 mT) to
70 G (7 mT), and either omnipolar, unipolar, or bipolar magnetic field
response. It has the world’s lowest average current drain
(200 nA) for an active magnetic sensor, as well as operating
frequencies up to 10 kHz and high operating temperature ranges
from -40°C up to 125°C.

Notes:
1. Exceeding Absolute Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure at the maximum rated conditions for extended periods of time may
also affect device reliability.
2. Unless otherwise specified, all characteristics are measured at 25ºC.
3. See "Magnetic Field vs. Output Status" for more details.
ESD Note: This product uses semiconductors that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). When handling, proper ESD precautions should be
taken to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Damage due to inappropriate handling is not covered under warranty.
