Description
The A1147 and A1148 devices are two-wire, unipolar, Hall
effect switches that are factory-programmed at end-of-line to
optimize ultrasensitive magnetic switchpoint accuracy. These
devices use a patented high frequency chopper-stabilization
technique, produced using the Allegro advanced BiCMOS
wafer fabrication process, to achieve magnetic stability and
to eliminate offset inherent in single-element devices exposed
to harsh application environments.
Commonly found in a number of automotive applications,
these switches are utilized in sensing seat track position, seat
belt buckle presence, hood/trunk latching, and shift selector
position. Two-wire unipolar switches, such as the A1147
and A1148, are particularly advantageous in price-sensitive
applications because they require one less wire for operation
than do switches with the more traditional open-collector output.
Additionally, the system designer inherently gains diagnostics
because there is always output current flowing, which should
be in either of two narrow ranges. Any current level not within
these ranges indicates a fault condition. These devices also

South (+) magnetic fields must be of sufficient strength.
feature on-chip transient protection and a Zener clamp to protect
against overvoltage conditions on the supply line.
The output currents of the A1148 switches HIGH in the presence
of a south (+) polarity magnetic field of sufficient strength, and
switches LOW otherwise, as in the presence of a weak field or a
north (–) polarity field. The A1147 has an opposite output: the
currents switch LOW in the presence of a south-polarity magnetic
field of sufficient strength, and switch HIGH otherwise.
Both versions are offered in two package styles. The LH is a SOT-
23W, miniature low-profile package for surface-mount applications.
The UA is a three-lead ultramini SIP for through-hole mounting.
Each package is available in a lead (Pb) free version (suffix, –T)
with 100% matte tin plated leadframe. Field-programmable versions
also available: A1180 and A1181.

Relative values of B use the algebraic convention, where positive values indicate south magnetic polarity, and negative values indicate north magnetic
polarity; therefore greater B values indicate a stronger south polarity field (or a weaker north polarity field, if present).
