Sensing and Productivity Solutions 13
Benets: Ultra-sensitive devices designed
for manufacturers who need a durable
and reliable speed or position sensor for
large air gaps or small magnetic fields
in standard power (3 Vdc to 24 Vdc)
applications. Respond to either North or
South pole applied in direction parallel
to sensor; do not require magnet polarity
to be identified, simplifying installation
and potentially reducing system cost.
SOT-23 and flat TO-92-style packages,
as well as two magnetic sensitivities,
accommodate variety of application
needs. SOT-23 surface mount package
supplied on tape and reel (3000 units per
reel) for use in automated pick-and-place
component installation. Potential industrial
applications include high frequency flow
sensing in HVAC, water, fuel, and gas
utility meters; anti-tamper detection in
water, electric, and gas utility meters;
liquid level detection, motor RPM sensing,
and in-cylinder position sensing. Potential
medical applications include RPM sensing
and magnetic interrupt in exercise and
rehabilitation equipment, absence/
presence detection in infusion pumps,
position sensing of medication dispensing
cabinet drawers, and incline position
sensing in hospital beds. Potential white
goods applications include lid, door
and drawer position detection, uid ow
detection, and liquid level detection.

output • Low gauss operation (25 G max.)
• Operating speed of 0 kHz to over
100 kHz • Small, through-hole package
• Tape and reel available
Benets: Low gauss operation (25 G
max.) extends sensing distance to one
inch or more, depending on size. Potential
polarity independent applications include
presence/absence detection, lid sensor
for laptop computers, position sensing for
material handling equipment, and cylinder
position sensing in pneumatic cylinders.

magnetics • Sinking output • Low gauss
operation (25 G max.) • Operating speed
of 0 kHz to over 100 kHz • Small, surface
mount package • Tape and reel
Benets: Low gauss operation (25
G max.) extends sensing distance to
one inch or more, depending on size.
Small, surface-mount package allows
automated, lower-cost assembly. Potential
polarity independent applications include
presence/absence detection, lid sensor
for laptop computers, position sensing for
material handling equipment, and cylinder
position sensing in pneumatic cylinders.
VF401.
Features: 2-wire digital current output
• Wide speed capability • One pulse per
pole pair output and differential bridge
operation • Output pattern independent of
gap between target and sensor
• Improved insensitivity to run-out, tilt and
twist • Enhanced sensitivity • Reverse
polarity protection • Miniature, TO-92-style
plastic package
Benets: High performance, digital,
2-wire, magnetoresistive sensor in
a miniature, flat, TO-92-style plastic
package with a current output designed
for sensing fine pitch ring magnets. Wide
speed capability provides application
flexibility with true zero speed sensing
and operation up to 3000 Hz. One pulse
per pole pair output and differential
bridge operation allow compatibility with
differential Hall sensors, making it easier to
upgrade existing applications. Enhanced
sensitivity, ±7 Gauss typical allows for
larger air gaps (up to 2,5 mm [0.098 in])
and higher pole density (up to 50-pole
pairs depending on ring diameter).
Patented bridge array optimized to allow a
greater air gap between the target and the
sensor with reduced loss in sensor signal
or accuracy. Potential applications include
wheel speed sensing and shaft speed
encoding using a multipole ring magnet
in a wide variety of off road transportation,
industrial and medical equipment.
APS00B.
Features: Dual bridges with outputs 45°
out of phase • Wide, angular range • Low
resolution capability • Absolute sensing
• Typical 0 MHz to 5 MHz frequency
response • Low power requirements
• Small 8-pin SOIC package on tape and reel.
Benets: Wide, angular range allows
measurements of ±90° without additional
components; measurements of ±180° are
possible with external components. Dual
Wheatstone bridges provide passive,
low-noise design, enhancing system
performance. Outputs 45° out of phase
may be used as speed and direction
signals. Resolution capability of less than
0.05° enhances overall system accuracy.
Absolute sensing means no indexing is
required and the exact target position
is known, simplifying system design.
Typical 0 MHz to 5 MHz frequency
response with 190 G minimum magnetic
field applied makes this saturated mode
sensor suitable for potential high speed
applications. Measures only field direction
and is virtually unaffected by shock,
vibration and magnetic-source gap
variations for stable and reliable output.
Small, surface-mount package saves room
on PC board when compared to larger
IC packages and components. Tape and
reel configuration (two sizes available)
allows use with automated pick-and-place
equipment, potentially reducing assembly
costs. Honeywell APS00A instrumentation
amplifier available separately for
additional signal processing. Potential
applications include high-accuracy
angular position, speed and angle, and
displacement sensing in a wide variety
of off road transportation, medical and
industrial equipment.
