The AH1892 includes a band select pin (BSEL) so that the operate (Bops and Bopn) and release (Brps and Brpn) points can be adjusted
between two pre-defined ranges. The BSEL can be hard wired within the application circuit or the band can be selected on the fly by using
the BSEL pin as a logic input. This feature allows the AH1892 sensitivity to be changed by firmware within the application without the addition
of any external components. If the BSEL pin is left open circuit the AH1892 defaults to high band.

Application Note
Applications Circuit One – Low Band
Connecting the BSEL pin to ground permanently configures the AH1892 into its high sensitivity mode, requiring a reduced magnetic flux
density to activate its output (Low Band).
Applications Circuit Two – High Band
Connecting the BSEL pin to Vdd or to a voltage greater than 1.4V or leaving the BSEL pin unconnected configures the AH1892 into its low
sensitivity mode, requiring a higher magnetic flux density to activate its output (High Band).
Applications Circuit Three – Adjustable Sensitivity
To enhance flexibility within the application, the sensitivity can be adjusted with a standard logic signal allowing it to be controlled by a micro-
controller or a logic source. This allows the sensitivity to be changed within the application without a hardware change. Whenever the
sensitivity band selection is changed, the band selection changeover should be allowed to complete for the output to be valid.

Application Note (cont.)
Bands Select Change Timing and Valid Output
Whenever band selection BSEL pin input is changed, allow for band selection changeover to complete and stabilize. The output is valid only
after the second complete operating ‘awake’ phase. Time taken for the output to be valid, after the BSEL change, depends on timing of
BSEL change during the sleep and awake phase; this time can range from 100ms typical and 200.1ms maximum.
