DESCRIPTION
These Hall-effect latches are extremely temperature-stable
and stress resistant sensor ICs especially suited for operation
over extended temperature ranges to 150°C. Superior high-
temperature performance is made possible through a novel
Schmitt trigger circuit that maintains operate and release point
symmetry by compensating for temperature changes in the Hall
element. Additionally, internal compensation provides magnetic
switchpoints that become more sensitive with temperature,
hence offsetting the usual degradation of the magnetic field with
temperature. The symmetry capability makes these devices ideal
for use in pulse-counting applications where duty cycle is an
important parameter. The three basic devices (A1225, A1227,
and A1229) are identical except for magnetic switchpoints.
Each device includes on a single silicon chip a voltage regulator,
Hall-voltage generator, temperature compensation circuit,
signal amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and a buffered open-drain
output to sink up to 25 mA. The on-board regulator permits
operation with supply voltages of 3.8 to 24 V.
The first character of the part number suffix determines the
device operating temperature range. Suffix L is for –40°C to
150°C. Two package styles provide magnetically optimized
packages for most applications. Suffix LH is a 3-pin SOT23W
surface-mount package; suffix UA is a 3-pin ultramini SIP for
through-hole mounting. The packages are lead (Pb) free with
100% matte-tin leadframe plating.
